The Blue Mosque

The mosque was built between the years 1606 to 1616 by Sultan Ahmet and sits high on top of one of the hills of Istanbul. The interior of the mosque is decorated with blue tiles. A huge courtyard adjoins the mosque as do fountains and gardens.

 

When I see sights like this and am part of a huge throng of people, I try to focus on shots that don't include the masses of people.
