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.

Just gorgeous!

(11,623 posts)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.

There is one outdoors in Prague also.

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.

(28,264 posts)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.
