Frank G. Carpenter,1923,Constantinople,Istanbul,Turkey,Galata Bridge,Golden Horn

Title: Many of the mosques of Constantinople were formerly Christian churches. There is a belief among the Christians that when the old frescoes of Saint Sophia appear again through their coating of Turkish paint, the city will fall to Christian hands In the late afternoon the setting sun silhouettes these giant toothpicks or minarets against the eastern sky making the city from the sea fairyland of beauty.
