Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia (Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία; “Holy Wisdom”, Turkish: Ayasofya) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum, in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Medieval Seville Cathedral in 1520.

I don’t know how I missed this. I love Istanbul, love the Hagia Sofia, and this is hands-down the best photo I’ve ever seen of it. Gorgeous, Mike. Absolutely gorgeous. The clarity of the details, from miniscule to enormous, and the light beyond the upper arch gallery – just beautiful.
