500 years later
Made by CyberMacs
500 years ago the Turkish and Hungarian was fighting. It was the first step for the Turkish to attack the West-Europe, Hungary was the door for them. But 500 years later this two nation are friends.We are in the front: a Turkish and a Hungarian. And we are lovers, and we want to marry. Because for us the history is really history. Not the present. The history is important to learn. But it will not broke our fellowship, our love. Because we are the same: PEOPLE. Behind of us are sleeping Suleyman the Great. The biggest enemy of Hungary. But we are in peace. And we think on Suleyman as a great man, a great leader, a great sultan. Not the man who made the war between our grandfaters. we are not angry on him, and not angry on each others because of the past.We believe that the history made what the history had to make. But it is not for making bad connection between people and people.We think only on people. Not religion, colors, country and history.And we belive that people will learn it too. --- I have the brother of this picture, when we are together with the Hungarian hero, Dobo, who was fighting with Turkish. He was the same great like Suleyman. Only different that one was Turkish, other was Hungarian.In other time, other situation they could be FRIENDS See the brother picture:
Istanbul - Suleymaniye Mosque - Shockwaves
Made by Traces in the Sand
From right to left, the central dome, supporting half-dome and gallery of the Suleymaniye Mosque The Suleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul's greatest mosque, built by the architect Sinan as his Qualification Work (the Sehzade mosque being his Apprentice Work, and the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, his Masterpiece) between 1550 and 1557. It is the most important Ottoman building in Istanbul, fittingly so, being built to commemorate the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent. The Suleymaniye is the first mosque to fully imcorporate the lessons which Sinan learnt from the Aya Sofya, and has the same half-cubic roof design. Sinan considered Sulemaniye to be his rationalisation of the Aya Sofya, being more symmetrical and light-filled than it's ancient predecessor. Despite it's vast size, it is still, however, smaller than the Aya Sofya. The interior was most recently restored to its original magnificence in 1956.
