MatthewThe famous Sultanahmet Cami (Sultan Ahmed's Mosque - also known as the Blue Mosque), Istanbul. 400 years old.
Photo taken during a massive thunderstorm some years ago. We'd been sheltering in a cafe some 10 minutes walk away when the call to prayer began.
I can still almost feel the thickness of the air as I walked to prayer; although the sun was just setting it was very dark already, yet it was still warm enough for t-shirts despite the storm.
My shoes literally did not dry out for days afterwards - and they were the only pair I'd taken with me 😃
