I happened to have my camera downtown yesterday and got these circles. (I don't have a cell phone.)
Top right: the sign on the clear glass marble fountain says not to throw rocks in it.
The building with the slender white arches (left side, third from top (or bottom)) is my favorite building in town. It was erected in 1964 as the Northwestern National Life Building, (now VOYA), designed by Minoro Yamasaki, architect of the World Trade Center.
Great quote about it from architecture critic Larry Millett:
he called it "a temple to the gods of underwriting, built by the gods of underwriting and mixing luxury and high camp in way that, say, Liberace would have appreciated."
