Re: Just the right spot and time!
The photographer must chosen in advance to take such a picture, and chosen the right time for the picture.

RE: Just the right spot and time!
I would have thought it should be very simple and not a freak. As long as the sides of the post are parallel to the paving slabs and the sun is exactly south (or north if you are in the southern hemisphere), at twice a year this should be the result. The dates would depend on the height of the post. Although, I think it should work even if it isn’t due south, just when the sun is directly behind the post and the right height.

RE: Just the right spot and time!
Yes, the surprise is not so much that it happened, but that the photographer was there at the one(?) precise date and time. Like a stopped clock, its precisely correct, once each period! Makes a great picture, regardless.
