Flowerpot Close-up489 viewsThe ram-like beast viewed from a different angle. Medhal (Reception Room)428 viewsThe main entrance hall, where a visit to the Dolmabahçe Palace begins. Guests would wait here to be escorted to their appointed destination by a palace protocol officer. Chandeliers455 viewsEvery room in the Palace seemed to have at least one incredibly elaborate and expensive Bohemian glass chandelier. Some had more than one. I'd hate to have to pay the electric bill. Ming Vase393 viewsThe OIttoman sultans had a penchant for the most exquisite Chinese wares. Ambassadors' Hall418 viewsFramed by two Ming vases, this door opens into the Ambassadors' Hall, where the Sultan received envoys of other nations, including Russia, whose Tsar Nicholas I donated two bearskin rugs for the room. Fireplace465 viewsFireplaces in the Dolmabahçe Palace are very differnt from the conical fireplaces of the Topkapi, and rather more elaborate. Red Room445 viewsThe color red predominates in the drapes, wall fabric and furniture, and even appears in the chandelier. Gold leaf is used extensively in the furnishings and ornamentation. Crystal Staircase384 viewsBuilt in the shape of a double horseshoe, using crystal, brass and mahogany. Detail of Crystal Staircase379 viewsThe bannister supports are made of Baccarat crystal. Crystal Staircase Chandelier414 viewsNot the largest or most expensive in the palace, but nothing to sneer at. Art Nouveau Floral Lamps476 viewsAt the head of the Crystal Staircase. 46 files on 4 page(s) 1 2 3 4 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 91a01205807815eb39e6c2e8809cc85e [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] (4.01 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (8.2 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] (4.06 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.22 ms) [4] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.17 ms) [5] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.19 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.18 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-12-01 05:55:49' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.89 ms) [8] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.55' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.46 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] (0.69 ms) [10] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 36 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.46 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] (0.21 ms) [12] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '36' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.44 ms) [13] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '36' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.19 ms) [14] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 36 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.45 ms) [15] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='36' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (0.85 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 = 36 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 12 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (2.44 ms) [17] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.26 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 36 [page] => 2 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
