Each mosque we saw this night had a different message in Turkish strung across the front minarets. I'm not positive, but I believe this message translates to something along the lines of "good times". And everyone who was out that night was certainly having a good time.

Built between 1609-1616, it takes its name from the mainly blue Iznik tilework decorating its interior.

Although the massive pillars supporting the dome within the Blue Mosque have been described as "oppressively big" and "elephant feet", the sheer scale of the interior is breathtaking.
