Photos at the Vatican

A grey wagtail looking for food

The John Hancock Center in 2003
Right, as I have been reliably informed in the comments, this is the John Hancock Center in Chicago. Ah well. I haven’t been there in twenty years. The Sears Tower rises above all nearby buildings in Chicago in 2003. It was renamed the Willis Tower in 2009, but when I took this photo from a…
