Butterfly kite flutters in Seattle alley

This yellow butterfly kite flying in the wind outside Liem’s Aquarium in an alley in Seattle’s International District caught my attention.

I don’t know if it was the yellow next to the green paint or orange character or the red sign or muted brick.

Or it might have been that something was moving in the wind in an alley in which I expected no motion at all. For some reason, I like it.

I didn’t step inside the store on Maynard Alley South, which is off South King Street. I just took the photograph and continued with my day.

If you’re interested, though, reviewers have made their thoughts known at Yelp.

Here are comments from three visitors, as cited on the Web site.

First person:

With regard to appearances, this operation deviates from the industry standard. However, their fish look healthy and none have died on me yet.

Second person:

Remember when you go anywhere with people from Yelp…you really do end up in some bizarre places.

Third person:

While I would agree the location is AWFUL and the shop is small, dark, and dingy, the fish I saw in this shop were spry, colorful, and happy.
