Photographer’s Note
Sunset over New Mosque and the city, taken from the ferry boat on our way back from Kadıköy, the ancient part of Istanbul (on the asian side), the city looks wonderful and great, really as capital city of a Empire!!
I wish you all a very nice week end!!

Hola Manuel!
Well, all I can say is that it's a very eye-catching and truly beautiful photograph! I specially like the color of the sky, the composition, with the two mosques very well placed in the image, along with the boats and the sea! It also has adequate sharpness and correct exposure! The artificial lights were very well captured in here! TFS - Congratulations! Have a great week-end! Neyvan

Hello Manuel,
Istanbul again? Never mind, I just like it, one of my dream city to visit :). Beautiful lights from the masjid. What I like the most? The water...Thanks for sharing this and have a wonderful weekend to you, too.
Warm regards,

Bonjour Manuel,
A chaque fois que tu publies une nouvelle photo d'Istanbul tu renforces chez moi le désir et l'envie de découvrir cette ville.
Et je pense que dans un an je vais satisfaire cette envie.
Ce ciel et ce coucher de soleil sur cette mosquée est absolument sublime.
Bonne journée
