Yerebatan Cisternby ~OzzY-TR

Photography / Architecture / Interior

Yerebatan Cistern, Istanbul, Turkey

Only frame added in PS, there is no manipilation on colors etc.

The cistern was first constructed by Constantine and enlarged to its present form by Justinian after the Nika Revolt using 336 marble columns recycled from the Hellenistic ruins in and around the Bosphorus. The water supply, routed from reservoirs around the Black Sea and transported via the Aqueduct of Valens, served as a backup for periods of drought or siege. It was left largely untouched by the Ottomans, who preferred running, not stagnant, water, and eventually used the source to water the Topkapi Gardens. The cistern was later left to collect silt and mud until it was cleaned by the Municipality and opened to the public in 1987. The water is kept clean and aerated thanks to a supply of overgrown goldfish that are replaced every 4 years or so. Information source: [link]

very nice depth and colors here

The states of awareness we currently perceive are only a thiny fraction of the whole.
The continuum extends deep into nonphysical areas of the universe far beyond our current physical comprehension
