Splotches286 viewsAlternating with the bands were these white splotches, as if someone had splattered white paint on the canyon walls. Upended Slabs281 viewsThe geological processes which formed the mountains in and around Death Valley caused many layers of rock to be dislodged and uptilted to crazy angles. Light is the Left Hand of Darkness272 viewsI found the interplay between sunlight and shadow fascinating. Disorientation283 viewsHard to tell which way is up in this setting. The Big Squeeze291 viewsAt times the high and steep canyon walls narrowed down to passages just a few feet wide. Striations271 viewsLooks as if some vandal showed up with a brush and a can of white paint, but these are actually natural features in the rock. Overhang308 viewsPossible shelter from rain, if it ever rains here. From Shadow to Sun309 viewsThe contrast between the sunlit and shadowed areas is like night and day. Tormented Rocks279 viewsHere the white striations are vertical rather than horizontal, and there is a large round "plug" in the rock in the center of the picture. Crazy, eh? Canyon Colors258 viewsGray gives way to light reds and yellows as the height increases. Bad Day at Black Rock279 viewsHere you can see more of those circular or oval patches, or "plugs", in the rock. A puzzle for me. 27 files on 3 page(s) 1 2 3 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 2634880d600c3a949982875784c7fdb6 [am] => 1 [liv] => Array ( [0] => 1917 [1] => 1909 [2] => 1858 [3] => 1773 [4] => 963 ) [liv_a] => Array ( [0] => 39 ) ) ========================== 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] (0.46 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.32 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '6c2ff074b233e8531699d43386073ffd' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.27 ms) [3] => 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] (0.31 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.23 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.24 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.23 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.28 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-10-12 17:33:47' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.79 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.211' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (1.89 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.26 ms) [11] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 39 [thumbnails.php:96] (1.38 ms) [12] => 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 = 16 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.3 ms) [13] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '39' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (1.23 ms) [14] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '39' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.26 ms) [15] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 39 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.58 ms) [16] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='39' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (1.33 ms) [17] => 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 = 39 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 12 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (1.93 ms) [18] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.97 ms) [19] => UPDATE cm_albums SET alb_hits = alb_hits + 1 WHERE aid = 39 [include/functions.inc.php:2895] (1.15 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 39 [page] => 2 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [cpg16x_data] => YTozOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiIyNjM0ODgwZDYwMGMzYTk0OTk4Mjg3NTc4NGM3ZmRiNiI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO3M6MzoibGl2IjthOjU6e2k6MDtzOjQ6IjE5MTciO2k6MTtzOjQ6IjE5MDkiO2k6MjtzOjQ6IjE4NTgiO2k6MztzOjQ6IjE3NzMiO2k6NDtzOjM6Ijk2MyI7fX0= [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => 7d71f9304c8f5e73634cbda595a0624e ) ==========================
