Very three dimensional, must be a very beautiful palace, the light from the right enhance the details and warm marble yellow is beautiful, so rare, so fluid. Very ancient and grand.

elle profusion de détails, une belle lumière, c'est une belle composition bien loin de la grisaille parisienne

Great detail and contrast. It's a pity the burnt area by the light, but the photo is really nice
3 Jan 2009 9:04am
@Querques: The burnt area is the very presence of the Sultan's soul, my dear, can't you feel it ? ;o)

Photo rich in details. To feel that the lights and the shades are your good friends on your pictures.

Gosh what stonework.
I always think when I see decoration like this
Its great to look at
but not to live with.
The rich and powerful live(d) such fussy over ornamented lives

Une très belle lumière venant éclairer ces magnifiques boiseries... de très beaux tons chauds...
3 Jan 2009 11:34am
@Florence: Well, actually, it's marble - rien que du marbre du sol au plafond ;o-)
Momo from Montpellier, France
amazing color and detail...you and your tz3 have been doin' some fine work together...I wonder if it's money or laziness or just a change of aesthetics but these old baths like so much older building designs are so colorful and ornate...a while back I saw a documentary on a newly constructed spa in the mountains, hmmm, I think eastern europe?...I forget now...but it was all this flat, black and gray rock, huge sheets of the stuff with natural light for accents, but almost no detail aside from the natural texture of the material...quite beautiful in its own way but like from another world...thanks for this little look into Istanbul k@...

Brilliant capture of this stunningly ornate bath. Beautiful detail and lighting. The grain of the stone almost creates a liquid effect.

The light is so ethereal! I just love this, the way the room seems to glow in all this wonderful detail. I can imagine sitting there, the air just humming. Wow!

On doit avoir une drôle de sensation lorsqu'on est entouré de marbre, j'aurais l'impression d'être fragile!
Très beau détail dans cette texture.

@Nico: Haha, j'adore - car sincèrement je me dis la même chose tu sais : le minimum de post en longueur, pas fun de dérouler le parchemin pour tout voir, hein ! ;o) Demain, ce sera en format ordi, promis ! Bonne nuit, Nico*
Pixim from Nice, France
Pas si petit que ça ce hammam, je n'ai pas le même à la maison. Une décoration à profusion magnifique en matériaux nobles, une lumière puissante (Normal c'est le Sultan) et une photo qui nous permet de découvrir tout cela (S.V.P. rester derrière le cordon) avec précision, à ressentir la matière sous les yeux Bravo ;)
3 Jan 2009 9:59pm
@Pixim: Eh bien figure-toi que non, pour ce hammam, pas de cordon, on a pu se balader librement dedans, oui, Monsieur, comme j'vous l'dis ! Je ne me suis pas gênée pour stagner et clic-claquer (et là, c'était un peu moi le cordon, vu la foule qui pressait derrière ;o) Bonne nuit, Eric, et bises dorées comme nos couleurs/lumières du jour...

Hammam, my new word for the day, now that I've been and looked it up.
Thats one of the interesting things about places like am3,
you get to pick up bits of culture and history along the way,
as well as get to look at loverly images.
