Alcatraz Island

The former federal prison, former military fortress, former American Indian special place, now a nature reserve and very interesting tourist trip.



One of the "avenues" of cells

Holiday camp this is not

Escape looks very tempting from here


The Golden Gate bridge before they invented colour
 

 

Cheese!
 

It must have been a good fortress too

Prison building and working lighthouse
 


 


 

The gardens are now formally tended

Possibly the most excited I've ever been about a water tower
