The Blue Mosque dominates the skyline of Istanbul and is regarded as one of the most beautiful mosques in the world and one of very few to have six minarets. It was built in the 17th Century for the Sultan Ahmet. Designed by the architect Mehmet Aga it was built on the site of the ancient hippodrone and the Byzantium imperial palace. We visited it on a bright and sunny day in February and also walked through what remains of the Hippodrone next to the mosque.
Taken on the last day of 2010 in Istanbul, Turkey. It was such a peaceful evening.

Contemporary Turkish pottery from Moda, Istanbul.
Been hearing this song at tons of bars in Istanbul. Everyone always sings along, but I didn’t know the name until now.

Grand Bazaar- Istanbul-Turkey
The Grand Bazaar is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world. Estimates vary as to the number of businesses there are in the market but it certainly is in the thousands. Although there are a vast number of streets and stalls they tend to be located into different sections where specific types of goods such as leather, carpets or gold will be grouped together making it easier to find your way around. That said, part of the fun is wandering around and just exploring the bustling streets and soaking up the atmosphere.
