for more info about Hagia Sophia;
Hagia Sophia (/ˈhɑːɪə soʊˈfiːə/; from the Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία [aˈʝia soˈfia], "Holy Wisdom"; Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia; Turkish: Ayasofya) is a former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its dedication in 360 until 1453, it served as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral and seat of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Empire. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931, when it was secularized. It was opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.

A really impressive panorama here, Feyza! Certainly a stunning building in the Hagia Sophia anchoring it at center, and I really like the differing tones of light at the left and the right. I wonder if you also considered putting the Hagia Sophia further to the left and extending this out over the Bosporus more, where there seems to be better light and more interesting scenery?
