Den världsberömda Blå Moskén med sina sex minareter är ett ögonmärke i hela Istanbul. The world famous Blue Mosque with its six minarets is a landmark throughout Istanbul. |
Everyone must take off their shoes before entering a mosque, women must
also cover the head. |
|
Varför den kallas Blue Mosque fattar vi inte den är inte så blå som New Mosque. Storleken och mosaiken var verkligen imponerande. Why it is called the Blue Mosque, we don't understand it is not as blue as New Mosque. The size and the mosaic was really impressive. |
When it's cold and windy, it's nice with a warm cap. In the background,
another world famous building, Hagia Sophia. |
|
Hagia Sophia syns bättre nu när tomtarna försvunnit. Kyrkan var från början (530-talet) kristen. 1453 blev den moské och slutligen 1934 ett museum. Hagia Sophia more visible when the gnomes disappeared. The church was originally (530) Christian. 1453 became it a mosque and finally in 1934 a museum. |
Central room in Hagia Sophia, where the dome is 31 meters in diameter,
reaching 56 meters above the floor. Holding this up are four pillars
with a base of 100sqm each. |
|
Undrar hur länge en så här vacker fruktbar skulle få stå orörd av klottrare och vandaler i Sverige? I wonder how long such a beautiful fruit bar would be untouched by scribbler and vandals in Sweden? |
Basilica Cistern is an old water reservoir.
It holds 80,000 cubic
meters of water.
An incredibly beautiful and different experience. |
|
Vattnet är fullt av karpar och guldfiskar. Djupet är inte mer än en halv meter. The water is full of carps and goldfishes. The depth is not more than half a meter. |
Some pillars were glazed, I wonders how the oven looks like, there it fits
in. |
|
Det finns två huvuden av Medusa i cisternen, en liggande och en rättvänd. Medusa gudinnan med ormar som hår och den som såg henne blev sten. There are two heads of Medusa in the Cistern, one lying and one right turn. Medusa is a goddess with snakes as hair and the one who saw her became stone. |
We had power outage constantly at the first hotel. Here eating a cold
breakfast at a candle stump |
|
Dekorationen i foajén på Hotel California. Inte riktigt vår stil.
The decoration in the foyer of the Hotel California. |
Newly renovated with beautiful purple colour and another house waiting for the
painter? |
|
Hela staden vimlade av herrelösa katter och hundar. Men man brydde sig om dom för man gav dom mat. The whole city was full of ownerless cats and dogs. But people cared about them because they gave them food.

An image on fast wash. |

Utegym hittade vi på flera platser. Här tränar en blivande guldmedaljör till nästa OS. Outdoor gym we found in several locations. Here trains a future gold medallist in the next Olympics. |
The gate to the Topkapi. |
|
Många män går med radband i sina händer. Båda männen på bilden har det, men hur går det ihop med kvinnan i sällskapet, utan schal eller huckle? Many men have rosaries in their hands. Both men in the picture wear it, but how does this works with the woman in the party, without shawl or kerchief? |
An overview of Topkapi. Now a museum containing such religious items as relics of the Prophet Mohammed. Even a harem are shown. |
