There are 6 mosques in our immediate vicinity and when they all have the call to prayer, they all compete with each other, like a discordant singing in a round. It is very loud when the speakers are less than 20m away. Still this is their culture.

28th April, a quiet day, the view from our hotel rooftop
Here it is a quiet day, Lynley went off to the Hagia Sophia and the blue mosque. We went up to the rooftop and were surprised at the amount of shipping in the Marana sea, possibly waiting for their turn to pass through the Bosphorus.

The mosque next door with many loudspeakers on the minaret
A view of the minaret
Narrow streets
The local houses
The walls from ottoman times right outside our room.
The streets are steep and narrow
In the midst off all the mosques is a church with across on top.
