dolmabahce mosque - right between besiktas and kabatas districs in istanbul. taken from the ferry I was in early in the morning.. that s when the sky was perfect for photography

The Dolmabahçe Mosque is located on the Bosphorus in the southern part of Dolmabahce Palace. Construction of the mosque began at the behest of Sultan Abdülmecid's mother, Bezmialem Valide Sultan, but when she died, Sultan Abdülmecid took over. It was completed in 1855, and the architect was Karabet Balyan. It is one of the highly decorated Baroque-style mosques. Being part of the palace complex, the mosque contains a front section in which the sovereign and state officials could worship and a two-storey section for the sovereign suitable for the public procession of the Sultan to the mosque on Fridays. The circular arrangement of the windows, which resembles a peacock's tail, is an unusual sight relatively unknown among the architects of mosques.

Hi Emre,

Lovely view of the mosque, like you said, the light is perfect, it gives the image a very romantic and nostalgic feel. Very well captured.
Cheers,
Enrique

Hi Emre...very nice colors and tones. I like the underexposed deep saturations.

tadilattaki bir yapı genelde pek estetik durmasa da öyle güzel bir ışıkta çekmişsinki bu fotoğrafı iskeleler ayrı bir havaya bürünmüş, gayet estetik durmuş... eline sağlık emre...
