Kaya Side Hotel near totality661 viewsThis is a slightly blurry view of the Kaya Side Hotel, as seen from the beachfront where we watched the eclipse, taken close to totality, when the light was getting low, the camera lens was wide open and the shutter speed too slow to deal with camera shake. The Beach at Totality642 viewsLooking out over the Mediterranean. Again, without a tripod Sandie's camera was subject to shaking, hence the blurred picture. Curtain Call582 viewsJerry & Sandie take a break for a celebratory snapshot after third contact. Clouding Up637 viewsTowards sunset, the clouds, which had mercifully given us a clear sky for the entire eclipse, began to move in on our observation site. Kaya Side Hotel at Sunset656 viewsThe central section of the hotel, with the dining area where we were about to enjoy our evening feast, as seen from our room in one of the wings of this enormous hotel. Mezze684 viewsTurkish hors-d'oeuvres. Cabbage Rolls and Stuffed Peppers674 viewsIn Turkish the cabbage rolls are called Lahana Sarmasi; in Romanian they are Sarmasi, in Greek they are Lahanodolmades, in Polish Golabki, in Russian Golubtsy. Regardless of what you call them, they are delicious. Cabbage Flowers689 viewsFlowers, apparently made of carrot slices with scallions serving as the stems, "growing" out of a cabbage. More Cabbage Flowers606 viewsThere was a great variety of cabbage flowers. These used carved radishes, zucchini squash carved to look like lilies, etc. Incredible food artistry! Sigara Böreği660 viewsEgg rolls, or their Turkish equivalent, stuffed with potato, feta or meat, next to cabbage flowers. Dining Companions657 viewsChuck and Elouise munch away on the Kaya Side goodies, as do Jim Windlinger, Attila, Michelle and Cherie at the next table. The emply seats opposite Chuck and Elouise are ours; Sandie and I were scampering about taking pictures. 47 files on 4 page(s) 1 2 3 4 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 6d168e0b63460486ef9d0bf8a6ff121a [am] => 1 [liv_a] => Array ( ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.25 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.11 ms) [2] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.16 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.1 ms) [4] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.07 ms) [5] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.05 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.16 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-06-15 10:02:30' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.37 ms) [8] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.217.71' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.24 ms) [9] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.49 ms) [10] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 29 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.08 ms) [11] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 14 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.06 ms) [12] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '29' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.04 ms) [13] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '29' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.03 ms) [14] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 29 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.05 ms) [15] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='29' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (0.34 ms) [16] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r WHERE ((aid = 29 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position DESC, pid DESC LIMIT 11 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (1.73 ms) [17] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.1 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 29 [page] => 3 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
