Description
I composed this photo last year when I was in Istanbul. I was looking for a unique vantage point for the Hagia Sophia and I found this “secret” bar near my hotel. I love the framing of the windows and how the past and present are represented in the composition.
When people think of Istanbul, they usually associate the city with the Aya Sofya (Hagia Sophia in Greek). This incredible monument was commissioned by the great Byzantine emperor Justinian, consecrated as a church in 537, converted to a mosque by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1453 and declared a museum by Atatürk in 1935.
