Trier, cloister between cathedral and Liebfrauenkirche!
Trier, cloister between cathedral and Liebfrauenkirche!

Story of the picture:

I learned from an insider in a long brown robe, who does not want to be named here, that this spectacular incidence of light occurs exactly twice a year in the cloister between the cathedral and the Liebfrauenkirche in Trier, namely at the equinox
on March 20 and September 23 at 3:43 p.m.! Then the sun is exactly behind the central pillar and the rays fall down at exactly the same angle on the right and left.
What use is this information - nothing without the other tips!
March 20, 2022 is over (the photo was taken on that day) - so the next opportunity is September 23, 2022 - but ATTENTION - because of summer time it will be 4:43 p.m.!
Even this information is of no use to you if it is overcast or raining ;-) - and even if the sun is shining you still have to prepare a few things to make the sun's rays visible, because this requires dust in the air. The easiest way to do this is to go to the main market square or the square in front of the cathedral and mobilize a group of tourists (just promise them an awesome view
in the cloister - that's true too) English people are best suited - with Irish or Scots it usually works too. Lead this through the Liebfrauenkirche into the cloister (you will then come into this on the right in the photo). There you then casually mention that a new pub was opened on the square behind the cloister and that there is free beer there today. ATTENTION - the stampede then starts immediately - you have to step aside and your camera on a tripod, which is already set up in the corner, should be protected with a panel!
Now before the dust of the centuries settles behind the Stampede, take your pictures - pack your things and disappear to the right before the disappointed English come back, because that could end badly for you and your camera.

PS If the scenario described above is too complex or even questions its accuracy, I recommend that you note today's date!
