This miniature park is an open space that displays miniature buildings and models

 

It was great to see all of the many spectacular historical places in Turkey in miniature scale.

Hagia Sophia

  

Hagia Sophia (Turkish: Ayasofya, Greek: Αγία Σοφία; "Holy Wisdom", Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral ever built in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Seville Cathedral in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between A.D. 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, and was in fact the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site (the previous two had both been destroyed by riots). It was designed by two architects, Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles. The Church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 50 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the patriarchal church of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1000 years.

 

In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks and Sultan Mehmed II ordered the building to be converted into the Ayasofya Mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed, and many of the mosaics were eventually plastered over. The Islamic features — such as the mihrab, the minbar, and the four minarets outside — were added over the course of its history under the Ottomans. It remained as a mosque until 1935, when it was converted into a museum by the Republic of Turkey.

 

For almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia served as a model for many of the Ottoman mosques such as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque of Istanbul), the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, and the Rüstem Pasha Mosque.

 

Although it is sometimes referred to as Saint Sophia (Greek for wisdom), the Greek name in full is Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, Church of the Holy Wisdom of God, and it was dedicated to the Holy Wisdom of God rather than a specific saint named Sophia.

So, my good friend Brian Cavanaugh and i are going to shoot a wedding together on the 30th of this month, and he has been pretty rusty. He gave me a call and was like "Broseidon king of the Brocean, i havent shot in a while. Wanna go shooting today?", and me being the eager man i am said, "Ah hells to the yeah bro, lets go shoot some stuff". Usually this entails brian and i finding a location and taking pictures of each other. Im not complaining, but i wanted a change. So i called up a friend of mine named Sarah, shes a cool cat and a trooper might i add! She was posing for us left and right in 105 degree weather! YEAH SON. At first she was a little uneasy, but she got the whole picture posing thing down. So kudos to her :). Thats all i have to really say about this set. Oh, one more thing. Im proud of the little 5D. I was shooting at ISO 800-1000 for these shots because the area was really shaded and dark. But it still produced very vibrant, sharp, beautiful images. So thank Mr. 5D. I commend you.

She didn't hear me coming. Notice how her face is turned away from Missi, she didn't want her to know she was having a quick beauty nap.

Lilac

 

Lilacs (Syringa) are a genus of about 20 species of flowering plants in the olive family (Oleaceae), native to Europe and Asia. Lilacs range in size from large shrubs to a small bushes, 2 to 10 meters tall. The leaves are opposite (occasionally in whorls of three), deciduous, and in most species simple and heart-shaped, but pinnate in a few species (e.g. S. laciniata, S. pinnatifolia). The flowers are produced in spring, each flower about 1 cm diameter, white, pale pink or more generally purple, with four petals. The flowers grow in large panicles, and in several species have a strong fragrance. Flowering starts after 80–110 growing degree days.

Spotted a small pride of lions coming down the road that leads up the the Lenong Lookout point. I spent about an hour and a half following and photographing these beautiful creatures as they made their way down hill napping and grooming.
