Garage on 36th Street1 viewsThis rather bare-bones garage doesn't seem to have any exit other than the main door on the street. It could be a trap. Garage Access3 viewsThe tiny garage in the last picture is apparently associated with the house on top and accessed from the house via the gate on the left. It doesn't strike me as a terribly convenient arrangement. Fremont Lane2 viewsA narrow unpaved path that leads to heaven knows where. Unofficial Car2 viewsI hadn't seen one of these VW crew-cab pickups in quite a while. I failed to check what the rest of the word is that the blue sack is covering up because I figured the owner would think I was trying to steal it and have me arrested. Looking back2 viewsContinuing west on North 36th Street, we arrived at its intersection with Fremont Place and Evanston Avenue, whereupon I turned around and shot this picture of the pleasant shady way we had taken. Arrival3 viewsNick, Jane and Sandie congratulate one another on reaching our destination on foot and unscathed, after an arduous and arduous hike of four or five blocks. What is Lenin doing in Seattle?3 viewsThis 16-foot-tall, 7-ton statue of Lenin was created by a Bulgarian sculptor, Emil Venkov, in 1988 as part of an arts competition. It stood in Czechoslovakia but was toppled in the 1989 revolution and tossed in a junkyard, where it was found and purchased by an American, who brought it to the USA. The Commies are Coming3 viewsA red-shirted terrorist poses in front of a statue of the head revolutionary. The Communist and the Cafes2 viewsLew Carpenter, the American who bought the Lenin statue in Poprad, Slovakia, wanted to start a restaurant with the statue out front, but he was killed in a car accident in 1995 before he could realize his dream. However, in a way it did come to fruition: Lenin now stands in a plaza in front of two cafes. Lenin Plaza2 viewsThe little plaza behind the statue of Lenin hosts a grinder shop and a Middle Eastern eatery. Flames and Guns2 viewsThe sculptural adjuncts surrounding Lenin are supposed to represent flames and guns. The sculptor did not intend this portrayal to be adulatory, but rather critical - he created it at the height of perestroika, just before the collapse of Communism, at a time when such expressions had become permissible. 31 files on 3 page(s) 1 2 3 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 90cbdbc7f59aae6482f7a47b35950f1d [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] (0.18 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.11 ms) [2] => DELETE FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE time < 1715664986 AND remember = 0 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.51 ms) [3] => DELETE FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE time < 1714458986 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.26 ms) [4] => UPDATE cm_config SET value = 1715668586 WHERE name = 'session_cleanup' [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.34 ms) [5] => 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:357] (0.12 ms) [6] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.14 ms) [7] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.15 ms) [8] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.13 ms) [9] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.18 ms) [10] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2024-05-14 06:36:26' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.47 ms) [11] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('18.223.133.169' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.29 ms) [12] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.63 ms) [13] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 49 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.4 ms) [14] => 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 = 19 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2943] (0.12 ms) [15] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '49' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.12 ms) [16] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '49' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.13 ms) [17] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 49 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.13 ms) [18] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='49' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (0.14 ms) [19] => 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 = 49 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 12 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (0.74 ms) [20] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.13 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 49 [page] => 2 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [fikker-2ITi-jkXI] => 4enQXwhGlJjmPkfWL9j3di8QM5h9hgJJ ) ==========================
