Archway by the Sultan Ahmed Mosque,
popularly called the Blue Mosque because... |

...the mosque's interior is decked out with blue tiles.
The mosque is filled with delighted tourists... |
 |
| ...like us! |
 |
| A pretty door near the Topkapi palace. |

The "Kubbealti" or the domed room, where the Ottoman Imperial Council held its deliberations.
Our tour guide said the emperor would listen in
the secret conversations through that golden screen. |

My mother's favorite place in Istanbul. The grand bazaar!
