Reclamation5 viewsBy the time the Gas Works shut down in 1956, this site was a toxic hellhole. Advanced bioremediation methods were used to clean it up and turn it into a public park, which opened in 1973. The gas plant was left intact as a museum piece. Aurora Avenue Bridge4 viewsAurora Avenue is Highway US 99, which also passes very near our B&B in Edmonds away to the north. Queen Anne District3 viewsThe northern section of Queen Anne, as seen across Union Lake from Kite Hill in the Gas Works Park. Queen Anne Hill and District take their name from the fact that many of the houses built in the late 19th and early 20th century were in the Queen Anne style, a variant of Victorian. (The name refers to the British queen who reigned from 1702 to 1714, though the style actually has nothing to do with her or her time.) Queen Anne Hill3 viewsThe hill is 456 feet high, the second highest point in Seattle, and contains a number of steep streets and pedestrian staircases; it also hosts 3 TV towers.. Space Needle5 viewsJust to the left of center in the picture you can see the Needle, which proudly towers over the southern section of the Queen Anne District. Downtown Seattle7 viewsAs seen across Lake Union from the Gas Works Park. On the shoreline, in the center, is the Museum of History and Industry (Mohai). City of Waterways7 viewsThis busy waterway is a part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal known as the Fremont Cut. The Canal enables water transport from Puget Sound to (surprise!) Lake Washington, via Lake Union.. Eastlake District7 viewsA view of the eastern shore of Lake Union from Kite Hill. The large white structure at center near the top of the hill, is St Mark's Episcopal Cathedral. Capitol Hill9 viewsTo the left (east) of downtown is the Capitol Hill district, a hilly, densely populated area which is a center of entertainment and nightlife, and also of Seattle's LGBTQ community. Nick and Jane on Kite Hill9 viewsI caught Nick and Jane as they were climbing Kite Hill and shot them against the background of the Aurora Avenue Bridge. Canada Geese6 viewsThese geese are the same ones who show up on the golf course near our house in the fall and spring. The one in front is George, the next one is Georgia, the third is Geoff, then Glenda, and so on. 15 files on 2 page(s) 1 2 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 0a09d4795e69944a8827fc7db6c6e468 [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] (0.22 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.16 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:357] (0.6 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.12 ms) [4] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.08 ms) [5] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.1 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (1.97 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2024-04-28 22:09:19' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.47 ms) [8] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('18.118.150.80' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.56 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] (0.24 ms) [10] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 50 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.5 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 = 19 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2943] (0.14 ms) [12] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '50' [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 = '50' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.19 ms) [14] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 50 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.39 ms) [15] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='50' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (0.53 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 = 50 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (0.91 ms) [17] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.19 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 50 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
