Lights against the Cathedral, Strasbourg

[Old Crank]

A good number of European Cathedrals have light shows against their building in the summer. Some are on the front. This show is on the side.

Front with normal lighting at night.

3. These are just wonderful, my dear Old Crank!

And they can't have been easy to catch; the light is so fleeting.

Just gorgeous!

Thank you.

16. With my phone

You have no idea how many electrons got recycled afterwards.😁
They did change reasonably slowly while flowing.

4. I hope they have elevators ...

17. I know right

I haven't gone up the tower yet. I've been up a few. When you get to the top you appreciate the view.

6. It is

Strasbourg Cathedral that is famous for the yellow color in the stained glass windows. The rose window is spectacular. Had never seen the outdoor lighting...Peace.

10. We stayed around the corner from that Cathedral!

We also got to see the Astronomical clock inside. It was Christmas 2021, and I've never seen a more magical city during the holidays.

Would love to go back in the summer.

19. I was there one December

The island turns into Christmas town and is very walkable. The click is amazing.
There is one outdoors in Prague also.

11. This Cathedral, which I've visited, has a remarkable time piece inside, an artistic work of...

...engineering that was, for several centuries, the most accurate time piece in the world.

The Strasbourg Clock.

I've only spent four or five days in Strasbourg, this on a business trip, but it is a very beautiful city.

20. Definitely worth a stop

If you are in the area. Such a nice town.

12. Magnificent!

And just think how long ago this was built - before all the modern tools and equipment they didn’t have (and weren’t even conceived of yet).

[Old Crank]

21. The construction was by knowledge handed down

They didn't have the math knowledge to do the load calculations. Just amazing.

14. Wonderful architecture,

Even without the light show.

15. Interesting new dimension

I visited this cathedral in Strasbourg 3 decades ago, during the day - these night views are most interesting in that they seem to enlarge the cathedral's size even more! On the other hand, it could just be my fading memory.

Thanks for posting these, Old Crank.

I know what you mean about the age thing.
