One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Mosque

It is definitely autumn in Istanbul and we've had some brilliant days with cracking good blue skies to bounce around with the leaves changing colours.  Here are a few pictures from a trip to explore the Blue Mosque, formally known as Sultan Ahmet Mosque.  Known for its 20,000+ handmade tiles inside, this mosque rivals any in the world in size and stature.  Living over on the Asian side of the city, I am able to watch the sun set behind the Blue Mosque and other mosques in the area.  It makes for an impressive view any time of the day, reminding you that the city is well known for history, culture, religion and the peninsula named Sultanahmet where the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia and Topkapi Palace are located.
