Photographer's Note
The New Queen Mother Mosque (Yeni Valide Camii), commonly called the New Mosque (Yeni Cami) , dominates the ferry docks in Eminönü at the southern end of Istanbul's Galata Bridge over the Golden Horn.
Despite its name, the mosque is not new, having been constructed between 1597 and 1663. Its common name is an abbreviated version of its proper name. The Yeni Camii has become a defining feature of Istanbul's skyline, overlooking the harbor next to the Galata Bridge on the Golden Horn.
The beautiful exterior consists of a great courtyard, two slender minarets, and a cascade of domes tumbling down from a central dome.
The interior of the mosque is decorated with Iznik tile, gold and marble. Valide Sultan Turhan Hattice is buried in the courtyard along with sultans Mehmet IV, Mustafa II, Ahmet III, and Mahmut I.

Bonjour Angshuman,
Quelle belle photo d'intérieur. Une magnifique gestion de la lumière difficile dans ces endroits ou l'utilisation du flash est interdite. Tous les détails ressortent très bien.
Amicalement

Hello Angshuman,
I get a feeling the man with the mobile phone found a direct line to God, since he is not satisfied with praying the traditional way. This is in every way a fine photo with a good atmosphere but the mobile banter also makes it a bit humorous.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Angshu
Interesting situations with men "praying" in two different ways. Three very traditional in dress and manner, and another one completely opposite.
Best wishes

Hi Angshu,
I went looking for (and found) Rustem Pasha Mosque http://www.trekearth.com/viewphotos.php?l=7&p=1406834 when I was in Eminonu. But the interior of this mosque is also impressive. At least I now have an excuse to go back, in addition I haven't yet seen the underground Basilica. Good contrast in the worshippers at left and the guy at right who needs to be surgically removed from his mobile phone! Tfs!
