mosque in old city istanbul, turkey

ps. similar interior photos seen on the internet label this the blue mosque

I was unsure which building I'd photographed, so searched for confirmation, certainly worship takes place here

and the floor space accessible to visitors is quite small, the central area under the dome is closed off with ropes ...

the blue aka sultan ahmed mosque dates from 1600s

'Boris' reminds me of a politician, but I will get over it.

I just really like the script here!
