It's grasping a wrecked VW Beetle - a real one.Sep 23, 2021 Troll with Abductee654 viewsThis is about as close as I could get to an unobstructed view of the Fremont Troll.

Sandie is also lurking nearby.Sep 23, 2021 Popular Ogre583 viewsThe Fremont Troll is one of the most popular attractions in Seattle, and it was impossible to get a shot with no people in the picture without waiting for nightfall, and I didn't want to wait that long.Sep 23, 2021 725 files on 61 page(s) 1 - 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 - 61 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 5daef936fdb7535154b745deaf0bdcdb [am] => 1 ) ========================== 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] (0.3 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.13 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] (0.17 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.07 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] (0.07 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.08 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-07-31 08:53:21' [include/init.inc.php:448] (1.12 ms) [8] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.54' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.32 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] (0.96 ms) [10] => SELECT name FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 6 [thumbnails.php:157] (0.07 ms) [11] => SELECT rgt, lft, depth FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 6 LIMIT 1 [include/functions.inc.php:44] (0.05 ms) [12] => SELECT cid FROM cm_categories WHERE lft BETWEEN 13 AND 28 [include/functions.inc.php:49] (0.04 ms) [13] => SELECT keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE category IN (20, 6, 10, 11, 15, 16, 21, 19) [include/functions.inc.php:57] (0.06 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 = 6 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.05 ms) [15] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 13 AND 28) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1614] (0.1 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 INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 13 AND 28) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' ORDER BY ctime DESC, pid DESC LIMIT 336 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1630] (13.73 ms) [17] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.42 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => lastup [cat] => 6 [page] => 29 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
