A fine selection of stained glass for #FensterFreitag this week.

This is inside the prayer hall of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Honestly this photo doesn't even do it justice. The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are both huge and quite close together in the city centre. Each mosque broadcasts the call to prayer on loudspeakers and standing in the middle of these two having it in stereo was very moving and something I'll never forget. We were also there during Ramadan in July 2016 and every night the streets would fill up with joyous people and music and foods from around 9pm when observers were breaking their fasts.

The majestic Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, with its grand domes, cascading terraces, and six towering minarets, stands as a masterpiece of Islamic architecture against a gray, cloudy sky. 🕌
