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,

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

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....
