Alcatraz from San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf |
Ferry dock on the far side of the island |
After the prison was shut down, Alcatraz became the focal point of a native American Indian protest site. |
As Sean Connery might say, "Welcome to The Rock!" |
One of the many guard towers on the island |
Not exactly luxurious accomodation |
'Michigan Avenue' |
Alcatraz from the mainland |
Old cell blocks and guard tower |
Light house |
Decay everywhere, which makes Alcatraz an even more interesting place to visit |
Water tower (complete with graffiti) sitting on the far side of the island |
Beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay Area - inmates could apparently hear the sounds of the city from their cells. So close yet so far. |
I found your website the other day and after reading a handful of posts, thought I would say thank you for all the great content.
