Stained glass window. Blue Mosque, Sultanahmet, Istanbul.

If I love anything more than some nice tiles its a nice carpet. Lovely and soft on my shoeless feet.

Found this pic from my visit to Turkey! The Blue Mosque which actually looks golden at night because of the lights.

The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey!

Istanbul, Turkey

When the Sultan unveiled the Blue Mosque, he was criticised for building six minarets, as at that time the Ka'aba in Mecca had six minarets also. So as not to be seen as competing with the most holy mosque in Islam, the sultan paid for a seventh minaret to be built in Mecca.
