WW: Hagia Sophia Revisited

Alley at Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey


We have heard from the news recently that Hagia Sophia or Aya Sofya in Istanbul, Turkey is now becoming mosque again. It was originally built as Cathedral then turned into mosque for several times before it functions as museum. Until July 10th, 2020, when President Erdogan of Turkey announced that Hagia Sophia will resume its function as mosque again.

I just remember my last visit there and  revisit this amazing place through my external hard disk. Again I just realize I have so many unpublished photos of Hagia Sophia. 
Even after all those times, I am still awed by its magnificent details.



Hope you like the following photos.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Converge

Define converge :), that's this week's Weekly Photo Challenge theme...

Merriam- Webster.com defines it as "to move toward one point and join together; to come together and meet" or "to meet and come together to form a crowd or a group" or to come together and have on purpose, interest, or goal." 

Interesting...

Now how would you interpret that in photography?

I guess I might have some series of pictures for that..
What do you think?
