Today in Photo

Isn't the Hagia Sofia BEAUTIFUL? my photos absolutely do not do it justice but I think it's the most majestic place of worship I've ever been to (formerly in first place was the Golden Temple which is gorgeous but lacks the soaring roof, the sense of vastness.) Ir used to be a cathedral during Constantine's time, then the Ottomans turned it into a mosque, then the old secular Turkish government turned it into a museum then the new religious government turned it into a mosque so now you have to shoes off but it's so beautiful I gasped, like literally. The other photo is just seagulls, my favourite bird. I realise I have a favourite bird now. What's yours? (this is not an engagement metrics kind of question, I'm just curious.) #hagiasophia #istanbul #seagulls
