Thank you!

Hi Fahim,

This is so kind of you, I am deeply touched. Thanks for this very nice picture of the famous Ortakoy Mosque in Istanbul. You know well how to entice someone. As it happens, I took some night pictures of the same mosque a few months ago and I can't resist but show them to return the gesture. I hope you'll enjoy them.

All handheld with 5DII and 17-40L f4. The last one of the Bosphorus Strait also shows the same mosque under the bridge, just above the rightmost boat in the front row.

​

Cheers,

Ha!
My turn!...

Oh, la la; what a great scene Nicolas!
I am amazed by two things:
1) You got that one sharp while being on a boat which was constantly moving.
2) That there are three people here in OPF from three different countries who all have photographed this very location. A 4th perhaps, who's next? ;-)

Cheers,

Cem, lovely pics. Thanks for sharing your beautiful country with us.

Mike, it is always a pleasure to read your kind comments.

Nicolas, expensive tastes in boats, architecture and phones! beautifully captured.

Best to all of you.

Thanks but shot with a much more expensive camera than an Iphone...!

Nice. I did not know the name of the Mosque. I have photos too of that from my trip to Istanbul a few years ago now. That has been one of my favorite cities to visit. I am not home so I cannot post that here....
