Photo of the Day (08.12.08)

Istanbul's Blue Mosque -- one of my favorite places in the world in one of my favorite cities in the world. Walking into The Sultan Ahmed Mosque is one of those jaw dropping experiences that you remember for the rest of your life, its vaulted ceilings and Ottoman and Christian influences gently meeting far above the silent crowd. Today's photo of the day comes from smallscreen, who does an excellent job capturing the detail of the central and satellite domes. A truly exceptional shot.

Super, super shot. Getting the lighting right couldn't have been easy... Also, glad the photographer didn't boost the brightness and loose the mood.
