Trier The Market Cross in the Market area, and buildings surrounding the market in the centre of Trier. This is the oldest city in Germany, founded by the Romans who built the Porta Nigra, or Black Gate, as the entrance to the city. The front of Trier cathedral, the building doesn't actually lean in the alarming manner suggested by this photo, but after several glasses of wine, the phtographer does. Death comes calling, a grave monument inside Trier cathedral. The Harvest Festival Parade on their way into the Cathedral. A gift stall in the Autumn Market, you could also buy wines and flavoured schnapps of all sorts, beers, cheese, meats, salami, sausages, rosti with apple sauce, it was a gastronomic delight. The swineherd of Trier, the Saarlanders are very fond of their porkfleische. Bride on a Harley, oh when will my leather clad prince come ? Another of the pretty buildings in the centre of Trier. We didn't get to see all of the town, missing out on the Roman ampitheatre and the riverside, but we still had a most enjoyable day there. The weather was perfect, about 24c, and with the street entertainment that was going on around the Harvest Festival the tourists and locals had flocked in, there was live music of all kinds from oompah bands to a local metal band performing on the street and lots to see and do. Trier really is a most attractive place.
