under the domes of istanbul ...

old city istanbul, turkey

 

the amount and intricacy of pattern has to be seen ...

many of the huge number of windows are decorated with coloured glass

 

I looked for photos of interiors of hagia sofia grand & blue mosques to confirm the identity of the building I had visited

the matches I found were labelled blue mosque ...

 

the blue is a functioning mosque, here much of the central floorspace under the highest dome is inaccessible to visitors

and is roped off for worshippers
