Minaret of Cakir Aga Cami located beside Palace of the Porphyrogenitus.

First of my photos I used on the calibration tool on during my editing. Great tool to adjust the colour composition of all pixels in a photo and completely change the vibe of it.

Byzantium Palace of the Porphyrogenitus was built during the late 13th or early 14th centuries. "Porphyrogenitus", meaning literally "born to the purple", indicated a child born to a reigning emperor. The emperor would show off the newborn heir from the balcony and have them proclaimed “Caesar Orbi”, or “ruler of the world”.

The Palace was another random discovery while walking around the Fatih neighbourhood. Upon research it turns out it was recently renovated, turned into a Museum and opened in 2021. Entry was free and while there is not too much in terms of historic artifacts it is definitely a nice visit for history lovers.

This was one of the few mosques I visited in Istanbul while a class was going on. While sitting up at the front of the mosque I tried to listen in on the class and was a bit surprised to find it being conducted in Arabic. My Arabic is pretty awful but if I made out what I heard correctly the teacher was explaining the concept of 'mudaf' & 'mudaf ilayh' which refers to the concept of possessive nouns in Arabic grammar.

Do you know about this Arabic concept?

Selim Camii (masjid) features a shallow dome which I find to have simple elegance compared to some other extravagant domes in in the city 😍

Since I have a crop sensor camera I wasn't able to capture the whole dome standing under it

View from the Galata Bridge facing Süleymaniye Mosque during the early hours of the day. Galata Bridge connects the Karaköy (alo known as Galata) and Eminönü areas of Istanbul. It is 1 of 5 bridges that go across the Golden Horn.

Also I think that's a tour boat, not sure sure though tbh 🤷🏽‍♂️
