Original – Courtyard of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque at night. Completed in 1616, the mosque (perhaps better known as the Blue Mosque) is about as large as the courtyard. It can hold 10,000 worshippers.
Reason
High quality, very attractive view of the mosque and its courtyard at night.

"Anyone who has ever seen pictures of large buildings in single pictures will have seen this effect before" - you won't see such photographs in textbooks on architecture, they would be discarded as trash (in fact, they would not even reach that discarding stage, no professional photographer would dare present them at all).
