Ishak Pasha Palace was for me the most impressive place in Turkey. I spent a night camping just below it. It is located close to Dogubayazit and Ararat Mountain, near the border of Iran.

If you ever go to the East of Turkey you should visit this place!

Other photos of the same place: 1, 2, 3, 4.

Almost two photos in one, both the palace and the grave together, both focused and detailed. Good composition...

Very nice composition. I like the tombstone in the foreground with the main focal point of the palace behind, and it's all nice and sharp.

It is indeed a great place Szymon - for me possibly the highlight of Turkey. You have good lighting here and I like the graves as foreground interest. Is Ishak himself really buried here??

Very nice composition, I like it. A good clear photo. Always a good idea to have something interesting in the foreground, to have the tombstone and palace together works well.

Great composed with thee tomb-stones in the foreground, Szymon, a very nice light, good shot !

Szymon, this is one of the very best photos I've ever seen of this amazing palace, for its clarity and the foreground and background elements. Thanks for your visit after seeing that I linked to this fantastic page with your amazing photo.
As for feeling the age of the sultans, I read that this sultan rewarded his stupendous architect by cutting off both of his hands so that he could not produce anything like this for anyone else!

Hi Szymon, very good POV. Lightening amazing. Brilliant Composition. TFS.

Ertugrul.
