Photographer's Note
Hagia Sophia is a great architectural beauty and an important monument both for Byzantine and for Ottoman Empires. Once a church, later a mosque, and now a museum at the Turkish Republic, Hagia Sophia has always been the precious of its time.
The mystical city Istanbul hosted many civilizations since centuries, of which Byzantium and Ottoman Empires were both the most famous ones. The city today carries the characteristics of these two different cultures and surely Hagia Sophia is a perfect synthesis where one can observe both Ottoman and Byzantium effects under one great dome

Gokalp, thanks for this beautiful interior of the Hagia Sophia. The light is wonderful, and reveals all of the detail from the incredible artwork and iconography inside. Nice POV.

Hello Gokalp,
Very beautiful capture with interesting POV and warm golden tones. I visited Hagia Sophia last year and understand how difficult it is to get pleasing photos with the crowds and no tripod use rules etc, congratulations on a superb shot

İsik ve perspektif mükemmel. Hz.muhammed yazısının, Hz. Isa mozaiği ve melek figürünün tek kareye sığması çok başarılı.
