Saint Mary's Church, Krakow, Poland, 1988

A speck of sun behind the Gothic church of St. Mary's penetrates early morning fog in Market Square as merchants ready their tables for the day's crowds in Krakow, Poland. The picturesque plaza, built in the 13th century, is one of the largest public squares in Europe.
