Picture of Aerial Photo of Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque (aerial-postcard2-paradox.jpg, 600 x 379, 43.6K)

Aerial photo of the Sultanahmet neighborhood of Istanbul, with the Blue Mosque in the foreground and the Hagia Sophia further off.

It's no coincidence the two great religious buildings look so similar: the Blue Mosque was built in direct competition of the great cathedral.
