There's nothing special about this shot except that it was a picturesque
shot to begin my visit to Alcatraz with.

A lookout tower on the road from the ferry launch to the prison.

A view from a guard house window.

I was really impressed with how lush everything was on Alcatraz. It was
such a contrast to the inside of the prison itself.

View of the prison from the excercise yard. I've noticed lately that a lot
of the movies about Alcatraz like shooting scenes here.

These are the ruins of the houses that the wardens and their families lived
in on the island. Many of the flowers that were in their gardens have grown
wild all over the island.
|
|
The head honcho, el supremo warden's house was burned down during the
Aboriginal occupation of the island which occured after the prison had gone
into disuse.
|
|
You can see the lighthouse (which was on the island before the prison) and
the barracks where the guards lived in this photo.

Returning from the island of Alcatraz to the harbour.
