Artist's Description
Shown is the dramatic lighting of Doric columns located in the cistern in Istanbul, Turkey. This cathedral-size cistern is an underground chamber approximately 138 metres (453 ft) by 64.6 metres (212 ft)[5] - about 9,800 square metres (105,000 sq ft) in area - capable of holding 80,000 cubic metres (2,800,000 cu ft) of water. The ceiling is supported by a forest of 336 marble columns, each 9 metres (30 ft) high, arranged in 12 rows of 28 columns each spaced 4.9 metres (16 ft) apart. The capitals of the columns are mainly Ionic and Corinthian styles, with the exception of a few Doric style with no engravings.
The majority of the columns in the cistern appear to have been recycled from the ruins of older buildings, likely brought to Constantinople from various parts of the empire, together with those that were used in the construction of Hagia Sophia. They are carved and engraved out of various types of marble and granite.

Hi Cheri, you outdid yourself again. This is One of those Wonderful captures that makes one sit back and stare at for a long time, while allowing one's imagination to run wild. I spent a long time staring at the reflections and shadows on the floor and way at the end imagining whats there????? I mentally visualized a very large rich Gothic wooden door with steel spiked nails protecting something very special inside that room. V! (PS I purposely did not read beforehand your very detailed explanation as I wanted my mind to wonder, appreciate, and decipher what I was seeing.) I will now go back and read what you wrote.
Cheri Randolph replied:
Rene, I'm delighted that you enjoyed being "captured" by this place. It is mesmerizing. While walking around in here, you get the feeling that you have trespassed into a place of secret ritual, or, perhaps you've been transported to the underground/water realm of the 'Phantom of the Opera". It is truly amazing.
