I actually don't remember where this picture was from - it's very hard to communicate the inside of mosques without a super-wide angle camera (that i don't have). the way the domes connect and fall down is quite unique, and the huge chandeliers making a plane about 8 feet high is an interesting difference to christian churches. I had to decide on this picture showing the elaborate decoration of the dome rather then one that despairingly tried to show more... shrug. looking at a collection of pictures together gives a little bit better of a picture....fatih mosque, sehzade mosque also this day, i believe this is the sehzade but i won't promise and i don't really remember the difference. repression when i was asked to cover my hair in one... was good obviously about taking off my shoes, but man.... definate repression. a rather foolish-looking arrangement of my scarf (tony was giggling anyway) was enough to let me get a few more pictures and we scurried out.
