Nikki's post described the group's time in Konya. Here are some photos of Konya. The first photo is of the tomb of the Mevlana. The interesting thing about this mosque/tomb is that it is officially a museum, but it's also a site of pilgrimage and worship for many sufis. So visitors mingle with worshippers, who are technically not supposed to be worshipping in a museum. The green tower is directly above the tomb of the Mevlana (Rumi).
This is a street scene of Konya. The atmosphere is very different from Istanbul.
This is a picture of the inside of the Alaattin mosque, that Nikki described in her post about Konya.
Nikki also mentioned the "forest of pillars" on the inside of the mosque. Here's a photo of that:
Wish I had some photos with this group in them. Photos of the group, anyone?
