From the Archives - A Fountain in Krakow

Fountain near Market Square, Krakow, Poland  © Doug Hickok


A fountain near Krakow's Market Square (Rynek Glowny) attracts more than just tourists. Krakow is perhaps Europe's best kept secret. We loved our visit so much we'd like to go back one day. Among many of its attractions, Krakow boasts the largest medieval town square in Europe, which seems to emanate endless European charm at every turn. And for a photographers, it offers wonderful vistas and vignettes to capture your eye. Oh yes, there's excellent coffee to be had as well.

    Plus interesting and nicely illuminated of sun light architecture.

    Extra-ordinary good shot. Your colour sense is superb - and I'm a sucker for good silhouettes. Well shot.
