	Clive  +  388331 Thu, 05 Jul 07 03:52 PM Hi, In the background, there is a magnificent gray tower with a clock, ticking slowly, at its peak. Is that punctuation correct?  I'm not sure about the rules for prep phrases that begin a sentence. It's fine, although if the phrase is short the comma after it is often omitted.
