I had a delightful trip to Istanbul and Malta over the Eid al Fitr holiday. I got to meet up with the delightful Alex and Jenny midway through their European excursion, and I completely forgot about work for a few days. Definitely worth it. Instead of boring everyone with a boring explanation of what it was like, I'm just going to start putting up pictures. I'm having a problem with Photoshop right now, so these are just the proofs straight out of the camera. More to come as the technical difficulties are sorted out.
Mosaic at the Chora Church, Istanbul
For Erin, since we didn't make it to the Dolmabahce Palace last time. This is the only photo since as I was taking this the guide sternly announced there were to be no photos.
A generic mosque picture, I believe of the Blue Mosque.
The wonderfully hard-to-get-to inlet of Dahlet Qorrot, on the Maltese island of Gozo.
Sunset along the southern coast of Malta, near the Blue Grotto and the town of Qrendi.
