View of Thomas Allen standing next to his Humber bicycle in the Hippodrome of Constantinople (Sultanahmet Meydanı) as 2 other men walk by. He is standing next to a circular iron fence within which is the Serpent Column (or Delphi Tripod or Plataean Tripod), an ancient bronze column originally part of an ancient Greek Sacrificial tripod in Delphi. A wall and minaret of the Sultanahmet Camii (Mosque of Sultan Ahmet I) is on the right and in the background on the left is the Egyptian Obelisk of Thutmose III (Thutmosis), sometimes called the Obelisk of Theodosius.
