Saint Irene, Istanbul

Reason: High resolution encyclopedic picture of the first Christian church built in Constantinople. More recent pictures have more trees and, erm, stuff around the church and don't give as clear a view of the building.
Articles this image appears in: Constantine I and Christianity, Hagia Eirene
Creator: Sébah & Joaillier, photographers. Restored by Michel Vuijlsteke.

Weak Oppose Yeah there are trees and stuff now, but I'm not convinced that a good, modern photo is impossible. The one in Hagia Irene isn't too bad, and the color really brings this place to life. Makeemlighter (talk) 06:22, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
