What the one has to do with the other?
A (I’m guessing) power plant and an (I’m guessing) orca have somehow merged together. I don’t get it, but am assuming that the broad expanse of wall space was enticing for the marketing department for the Seattle Aquarium, which is just across the street.

That’s a bold piece of venting. It does seem weird that the aquarium would want to take ownership of it.

I got a comment on the One Day | One Image Facebook page that the mural has been there for several years. Sometimes, the more you know the less things make sense!

Well at least it livens up a blank expanse of wall – and that is good news, even if there is no other deepen intent.

Yes, it does at least give passersby something to look at…

There’s a vast Biomass Incinerator recently built not far away from us and visible very clearly from a road in the middle of nowhere. A huge section of bare concrete wall has been given a rainbow-type paint job. That may sound very odd and intrusive – but it actually turns a very ugly building into something approaching an art ‘installation’. It turns my head every time I see it.

Andy, your comment reminded me of a professor I had in architecture school, who painted the roof-top air conditioner of his house a soft coral color. He told us that it was ugly and distracting and people’s eyes would be drawn to it anyway…so he made it a more pleasing color.
