New View of Old "New" Mosque
I couldn't resist taking detail
photos of Istanbul's Yeni
Cami (New
Mosque, 1663) in Eminönü one
night. Here's one of the results.
The architects who
designed Istanbul's
great imperial mosques were geniuses
for detail: domes, cupolas,
arches, windows of various shapes
and uses. It all makes for a
cascade of interesting things
to look at, night or day. |
