Stone Balustrade578 viewsOf course no ordinary guardrail would suffice for the terrace of a sultan's harem. I found the 8-pointed star design especially appealing.

Firuz Ağa Mosque578 viewsBuilt around 1491 by Firuz Ağa, chief treasurer of Sultan Bayezid II. Located very close to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace.

Rumelihisari - ("Rumelian Castle")578 viewsBuilt in 1451-52 as part of Sultan Mehmet II's plan of securing the Bosphorus in preparation for the conquest of Constantinople. The blue-striped white structure at the waterside, toward the center, is the modern Aşiyan lighthouse.

Optical Delusion576 viewsAt first glance it appears that Michelle is using some weird kind of periscope here to shoot the eclipse. On closer inspection, it's just a regular camera shot against the background of a black pole sticking up out of the sand in back. Meanwhile, it appears as if Chuck Mattox is trying to stamp on some noxious insect about to pounce on the girl in front.
