Süleymaniye'de Bayram Sabahı / Süleymaniye Mosque - İstanbul
Made by Celalettin Güneş
... En güzel mabedi olsun diye en son dinin Budur öz şekli hayal ettiği mimarının. Görebilsin diye sonsuzluğu her yerden iyi, Seçmiş İstanbul'un ufkunda bu kudsi tepeyi; Taşımış harcını gazileri, serdarıyle, Taşı yenmiş nice bin işcisi, mimarıyle. Hür ve engin vatanın hem gece, hem gündüzüne, Uhrevi bir kapı açmiş buradan gökyüzüne, Taa ki geçsin ezeli rahmete ruh orduları.. Bir neferdir bu zafer mabedinin mimari. Ulu mabed! Seni ancak bu sabah anlıyorum; Ben de bir varisin olmakla bügün mağrurum; Bir zaman hendeseden abide zannettimdi; Kubben altında bu cumhura bakarken şimdi, Senelerden beri ru'yada görüp özlediğim Cedlerin mağfiret iklimine girmiş gibiyim. Dili bir, gönlü bir, imanı bir insan yığını Görüyor varliğının bir yere toplandığını; ... Yahya Kemal


Istanbul: Süleymaniye Mosque
Made by zug55
The Süleymaniye Mosque is the second largest mosque in Istanbul and is one of the dominant buildings in its skyline. It was built on the order of Sultan Süleyman (Süleyman the Magnificent) by the master architect Mimar Sinan (1490 – 1588) between 1550 and 1558. The interior of the mosque is almost a square, 59 meters in length and 58 meters in width, forming a single vast space. The dome is flanked by semi-domes. In an innovative design, he incorporated the huge north-south buttresses needed to support the central piers into the walls of the building. The interior decoration is subtle, with very restrained use of Iznik tiles. The white marble mihrab and minbar are also simple in design, and woodwork is restrained, with simple designs in ivory and mother of pearl.


Süleymaniye'de Bayram Sabahı
Made by Celalettin Güneş
Restorasyonu tamamlanan eser, yeniden hizmete açıldı. İhtişamı daha da parlak, ışıl ışıl ... Sabah namazından önce gitmemize rağmen zor yer bulabildik. Süleymaniye'de Bayram Sabahı Artarak gönlümün aydınlığı her saniyede Bir mehabetli sabah oldu Süleymaniye'de Kendi gök kubbemiz altında bu bayram saati, Dokuz asrında bütün halkı, bütün memleketi Yer yer aksettiriyor mavileşen manzaradan, Kalkıyor tozlu zaman perdesi her an aradan. Gecenin bitmeğe yüz tuttuğu andan beridir, Duyulan gökte kanad, yerde ayak sesleridir. Bir geliş var!.. Ne mübarek, ne garib alem bu!.. Hava boydan boya binlerce hayaletle dolu... Her ufuktan bu geliş eski seferlerdendir; O seferlerle açılmış nice yerlerdendir. ... Yahya Kemal

Made by Thad Roan - Bridgepix
Hagia Sophia (Church of Holy Wisdom), now known as the Ayasofya Museum, is a former Eastern Orthodox church converted to a mosque in 1453, converted into a museum in 1935, in the Turkish city of Istanbul. It is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest buildings of the world and sometimes considered the Eighth Wonder of the World. Its conquest by the Ottomans at the fall of Constantinople is considered one of the great tragedies of Christendom by the Greek Orthodox faithful. (Wikipedia)

Dana with the "Trip"

One thing which impressed me in Istanbul's mosques was the serene atmosphere they were surrounded by. Although we were clearly tourists and have never been in a mosque before (at least me and Dana) we felt very familiar and welcome. All of us were shooting photos: here is Dana with her 40 years old camera.

These are spigots and basins outside the Blue Mosque for washing. These are found elsewhere throughout the city probably from the past when people didn't have reliable sources of water in their homes.
