Greeting Visitors in the Shadow of the Wrigley Building

I last visited Chicago in 2005, when I took this photo of the Wrigley Building, and this “We’re glad you’re here!” banner.

Did you know the clock faces of the Wrigley Building are each almost 6m in diameter? The two towers of the building were completed just over 100 years ago!

A street scene in downtown Chicago featuring the ornate clock tower of the Wrigley Building under a clear blue sky, with a red banner on a lamppost in the foreground that reads: "We're Glad You're Here! CHICAGO Mayor Richard M. Daley" alongside a simple line drawing of skyscrapers and waves.

We returned home from our 2014 break in Kent via a different route that took us past a sign for Herne Bay, a place I'd remembered my dad talking about visiting when he was younger, so we stopped for a short walk along the small town's seaside as it's difficult to keep us away from the water for very long. The clock tower you can see there is one of the oldest of its kind in the UK.

We're on a beach by a small harbour sheltered from the open water by a stone breakwater and jetty. There are ten small boats anchored here just away from a stone slipway and because it's low tide almost all all resting on the wet, sandy surface, some with a slight tilt because of the designs of the undersides. It's a bright day with puffy white clouds in a pale blue sky but it doesn't feel very warm here. A headland of sandy and rocky land becomes the small, hilly backdrop to a town on the shoreline to the right. A clock tower is prominent on the town's promenade.
