All the street lights make for poor night photography

Because really. Look at that lovely building. The wires between the minarets had lights strung on them to spell out messages, but unfortuntely our Turkish wasn't good enough to read them when unlit and we didn't catch them at night.

it has six minarets

Spent most of my visit here just looking up in awe for obvious reasons!
