Aurora Avenue Bridge513 viewsAurora Avenue is Highway US 99, which also passes very near our B&B in Edmonds away to the north. Canada Geese492 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. Queen Anne Hill490 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.. Nick and Jane on Kite Hill473 viewsI caught Nick and Jane as they were climbing Kite Hill and shot them against the background of the Aurora Avenue Bridge. Seattle Gas Works467 viewsThe Seattle Gas LIght company built this plant in 1906 and operated it until 1956, using coal and oil gasification technology.. City of Waterways464 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.. Dominant Species457 viewsThe geese ignore the humans, whom they clearly regard as an inferior species, unworthy of their attention. Space Needle447 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. Reclamation444 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. Capitol Hill443 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. Downtown Seattle426 viewsAs seen across Lake Union from the Gas Works Park. On the shoreline, in the center, is the Museum of History and Industry (Mohai). 15 files on 2 page(s) 1 2 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 40cdc1583fc22a71ead62efd022300b5 [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] (0.46 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.25 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] (0.7 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.18 ms) [4] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.16 ms) [5] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.13 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.22 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-12-01 09:52:21' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.78 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] (1.14 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] (0.4 ms) [10] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 50 [thumbnails.php:136] (0.45 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:2940] (0.15 ms) [12] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 50) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 [include/functions.inc.php:1717] (1.18 ms) [13] => 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 WHERE (r.aid = 50) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits DESC, pid ASC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1734] (1.69 ms) [14] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.47 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => -50 [page] => 1 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
