The Blue Mosque
I try to look pious in an attempt to be let behind the praying section of the mosque. Not sure what the weird shadow under me eye is about though

The Hagia Sophia - right across the road from the Blue Mosque
Me with the Blue Mosque in the background
Hagia Sophia from the outside - see what I mean about squat?
Another Jesus mosaic in Hagia Sophia
Mosaic of Jesus and friends
Mosaic in the Hagia Sophia - I still can't work out if it's blurry cause I can't take a photo or cause it's a mosaic
