A daytime, low-angle exterior image captures the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey, against a clear, cloudless blue sky. The large, light-colored central dome with a finial is prominent on the right side of the structure. To the left, two slender, fluted minarets with conical tops are visible; one is significantly taller and closer to the foreground. The main building facade, constructed of reddish-brown and lighter stone, features a complex arrangement of smaller domes, arched windows, and multi-tiered sections. Green foliage is present on the far left and partially in the lower right. A dark, non-identifiable structure is visible in the lower right foreground. No people or specific activities are discernible within the frame.
