German Fountain Canvas Print

The German Fountain (Turkish: Alman �eşmesi) is a gazebo styled fountain in the northern end of old hippodrome (Sultanahmet Square), Istanbul, Turkey and across from the Mausoleum of Sultan Ahmed I. It was constructed to commemorate the second anniversary of German Emperor Wilhelm II's visit to Istanbul in 1898. It was built in Germany, then transported piece by piece and assembled in its current site in 1900. The neo-Byzantine style fountain's octagonal dome has eight marble columns, and dome's interior is covered with golden mosaics. Istanbul, Turkey. October 2012.

From Polaroid to Argus to Canon, from darkroom to digital: although the passions in my life have changed, photography has been a constant joy. I've been fortunate in my travels, and I'm taking the opportunity to share both black and white and color views of my world. My happiest place is anywhere in the UK, with a camera and time to spare. I hope you enjoy my view of the world. All photographs on this site are subject to copyright and are protected by the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code).
