Alcatraz
Description: Alcatraz is another one of those landmarks that constantly amazes me. The amazement stems from not only the site of this old prison, sitting alone on an island 1.5 miles off the coast of San Francisco, but also, the fact that people flock to see this prison day-in and day-out. The view of the city from Alcatraz is spectacular, but the view of the once used toilet bowl of several inmates, not so much.
This particular capture of Alcatraz was taken while walking along the streets of Russian Hill. It was a beautiful day and Alcatraz was smiling at me just waiting for me to capture its picture.
