The Blue Mosque is opposite the Ayasofya. The latter is no longer a functioning mosque. The Blue Mosque is.
See yesterday’s post for a vertical pano from a balcony inside the Ayasofya.
Yes, the scaffolding alone is pretty impressive.
Yeah, that is what the park’s called.
The benches are in disrepair, but the park has a good view down the peninsula, including Portland’s Downtown and Bayside neighborhoods.

Bends courtesy of iPhone 4, DoubleTake (excellent panorama stitching software), and my impatience this morning.
If you look closely you’ll see the two bored monument guides sitting on the bench outside the door completely unaware that the obelisk’s about to tumble on to their heads. Scary!
The blue sky too is completely Photoshopped and was added to cheer up people stuck under the never ending overcast skies and rain. Enjoy!
Here’s the incredible history of the Bennington obelisk. Amazing!
Funny. Didn’t know this field existed until on a walk Friday we started exploring the rough paths Portland Trails has posted behind Evergreen Cemetery. This field is accessible by a crumbling road from the University of New England. I think there might be access too from Mayfield Street.
