Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque)

Located in the district Sultanahmet it is one of the two mosques in turkey with 6 minarets. At night the blue mosque is illuminated in red - and with sea gulls enjoying the thermal conditions from the Marmara sea.

About this place:

Istanbul is full of mosques. Sadly, I didn't have time to explore them in depth or even to learn their names... but here are some images of a few for you to enjoy.
