Inside Istanbul’s Blue Mosque – where artificial light and architecture converges
my visit to the famous Sultan Ahmet Mosque in Istanbul has opened up my eyes to a different kind of light - artificial ones. It is very rare for me to even recognise the beautiful use of artificial lighting in any old landmark buildings.
My Favourite Architecture – the Apollo Temple
Not far from Selçuk is Didim. Today Didim is a seaside town popular with Ankara Turks and Northern English Brits but two and a half thousand years it was the site of an ambitious building project that so very nearly edged the Temple of Artemis off its spot on the famous wonder list.
Hagia Sophia – you’re my kind of thing
What makes Hagia Sophia great? There's many - from the scale of the building to the designing of its interior. Everything that evokes a sense of tranquility and spirituality.
Me, Istanbul and stupid travel poses
How often do you take (good or bad) photos of yourself during your travels?
