Visited the #HagiaSophia today. Pretty cool mosque. Having a blast in #Istanbul seeing the sites but a ton of walking. I am disappointed that the #GrandBazar is closed though for #EidAlAdha and we're not going to experience it.

The (I believe) original doors of #HagiaSophia, still in place. 🇹🇷

Thinking of the people of Türkiye today so today's #PhotoOfTheDay is from a trip to Istanbul.
It's the view from the upper gallery of Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) looking between the domes of the tombs of Sultan Selim II and Sultan Mehmed III towards the Hurrem Sultan Hammam and onto the Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque).
Completing the mantra of look up, look down, look out 😃

The Hagia Sophia is one of the greatest buildings ever built. My opinion, but c'mon...everything about this building is absolutely stunning! The size, the dome, the details. AMAZING. Walking into this space is truly awe-inspiring.
Anyways, if you're thinking about Turkey and the surrounding region today like me, do consider ways to help.

#HagiaSophia is a church and should be treated as such #ΑγίαΣοφία

Έκαναν την Αγιά Σοφιά καφενείο ,κάθησε και η κυρία με την μαντήλα σταυροπόδι και άρχισε να πουλά βιβλία του κυρίου με θέμα την ιστορία της Ι.Ναού σύμφωνα με την τουρκική άποψη

Please understand that #HagiaSophia became a mosque bcs Putin wanted it too (no 3rd Rome narrative with an Ecumenical Patriarch standing) / Please understand that whatever happened in Armenia in 2020 had Putin's signature too! Russia and Turkey are buddies after TR 2016's coup.

Hagia Sophia…the last great temple of antiquity…what a marvel. Surely one of the best things the Romans ever built

On December 23 (or 24) 562, #HagiaSophia is re-dedicated after the dome's reconstruction, and Paul the Silentiary composes an #ekphrasis in 1029 verses in iambic trimeter and dactylic hexameter praising the beauties of the building. #Byzantine #ArtHistory #Rome http://projects.mcah.columbia.edu/medieval-architecture/htm/or/ma_or_gloss_essay_paul.htm

"Yet who, even in the thundering strains of #Homer, shall sing the marble meadows gathered upon the mighty walls and spreading pavement of the lofty church? Mining [tools of] toothed steel have cut these from the green flanks of Carystus and have cleft the speckled Phrygian stone, sometimes rosy mixed with white, sometimes gleaming with purple and silver flowers." #Byzantine #ArtHistory #ekphrasis #HagiaSophia 2/3

Değerli takipçiler; sizler için kültürel jeoloji çalışmaları kapsamında, Ayasofya’da bulunan Omphalion’da kullanılan doğal taşlar ile ilgili bir jeo-broşür hazırladım. Faydalı olmasını dilerim.
