Edirnekapı, Istanbul. June, 2007


Mosaics in Istanbul, each more intricate and dazzling than the next. Like these in one of the domes of Holy Savior in Chora (often translated as Saint Savior) just outside the center of the city. A bus or a taxi or a metro (plus a walk through some dicey neighborhoods) will get you there. And just in case the mosaics aren’t enough reward for your troubles, there is an excellent restaurant, Asitane, right next door.
