I’ve been learning a new software package for digital images (Luminar AI). More on that software soon. In the meantime, I’ve been reworking more images from my prior trips to Istanbul. I’ve recently posted these images. Here are a few more that I reworked today. This was a working vacation–I taught at two Turkish Law Schools, one of which was Kadir Has University. My friend Olguz–a student at Kadir Has–arranged for me to give the lecture. He indicated that I would be treated to lunch prior to the lecture and that it was a beautiful view. And, indeed, it was:

I’ll add two more photos from the inside of Hagia Sofia. I walked past this amazing structure almost every day I was living in Istanbul. I worked hard to get images that captured the size and splendor, but most of my photos failed.  Here are two that I liked.  First, here’s a shot of the 2nd level of Hagia Sofia from a 2nd floor balcony:

Here’s the last photo in this series: I shot through a big ornate light figure to capture the ceiling of the structure.  I liked this enough to blow it up – – it’s currently hanging on my bedroom wall.
