Picture Frame for Bursa
I think I was just about done with my visit to Bursa. I stumbled into a mosque and tomb of Uftade an Islamic scholar of his time which I thought was underwhelming. Then again, you don’t really expect tombs and mosques to be grand and touristy. I wasn’t intending to visit this one but I guess I was glad that I did anyway since I would get to see one which isn’t so well known. Further up the road was a more well known one and hopefully, I wouldn’t make another mistake. I was glad that I recharged my phone at the Grand Mosque of Bursa so that should keep me going for another few hours, hopefully, enough juice to last me until I get back to Istanbul.
View of the Grand Mosque of Bursa
This area of Bursa is hilly and there are actually parts where you have a view of the city. Places like these are usually used as burial places of important people. I was making my way up and noticed a small park. I knew that this wasn’t the park that I was intending to go to but I was just curious. What piqued my curiosity was a viewing area, complete with a sign for Bursa. Maybe it would make for the best profile photo ever. Maybe not, the viewpoint wasn’t that high and it basically overlooks the car park which I passed earlier. However, from here you can see the Grand Mosque of Bursa. It won’t take your breath away but any view you can get in a city is always good.
