Fishies, octopi and otters, oh my! Here are a handful of snapshots from the Seattle Aquarium. The giant octopus, immediately below, was released to the sea a few days after I visited.

Most people’s exposure to subterranean Seattle is limited to the transit tunnels downtown.
But just a few blocks toward the harbour, the Underground Tour takes you into that city’s first tunnels, intimately tied to Seattle’s history and development.
It’s a particular treat for history buffs and those who love urban decay.
Thanks to our guide Allie (below) for an informative and entertaining visit.

Courtesy InDesign … Here’s an unflattering spellcheck suggestion for YYC, the airport code for Calgary.
(The second suggestion, however, is spot on.)

I often wonder if most people who use Calgary’s light rail system notice the art that exists intrinsically all around them.
Well, there are six Calgarians who most certainly do. Flickr friends and photographers (above, from left) James Tworow, Linda M. Cunningham, Nathalie Babineau-Griffiths, Wanda Martin and Dave King, along with Ian Proctor (not present), share their visual insights from the newly opened west leg of Calgary’s LRT system.
Their photo exhibition, One Place, Six Perspectives, demonstrates the innate artistic richness of Calgary’s newest C-Train stations, which stretch 8.2 km westward from downtown.
Swing by for a look and you, too, will see how transit can be more than just trains, buses, bricks and mortar.
One Place, Six Perspectives takes place on the walls of Pages Books in Kensington until the end of April.
P.S.: The group’s photos are also available for sale.
