Nice capture, B+W works really well, sad that you can see the amount of degradation that is occuring, Alcatraz is a place i'd want to visit, not for the history but for the setting for "The Rock" movie one of Cages better films, i guess Sean Connery showed him a thing or two

Sean Connery...a national treasure I can say that it was one of Cages better films as it is one of the very few
You may go there because of the movie but once there the history of the place will totally take over. The place is amazing and very windy. It's been a while since I've been there, I want to go back but with a better camera this time.
Thanks!

a lot of people probably don't rate it but i think Raising Arizona was a Class movie
Nobody can watch Sorcerors Apprentice without quoting How to train your dragon

I don't think people can watch Sorcerers Apprentice...period I tried and just couldn't do it Now "How to Train your Dragon" was super cute.

it really isn't and i'm not sure why as it look so picturesque but it really doesn't scream Alcatraz.
thank you so much!!!

no, well maybe a little...but its the draw of the unknown that calls to you.

it's true, next time the unknown calls it better remind me to grab the good camera.

May I offer one piece of wisdom...the camera doesn't make the image...the photographer does. And you did

Oh how I LOVE this shot! Being able to see sky through the windows allows us to see just how much that tower has been through and how the years have been on it because it doesnt have a roof or any glass in the windows. Great contrast...

my eyes first fell on the lone dead plant on the edge of the cliff and then panned to the tower and i thought it was too creepy not to be perfect.
thank you

i wouldn't be surprised if it was, a lot of people died there and most were violent criminals.

you remind me of a friend of mine. we want to the Winchester Mansion and i was taking pictures and she kept yelling at me to stop because apparently you can capture (in the literal sense) ghosts in them...hehe

forgot to mention...once you capture them in your picture you bring them with you and they can hunt you!

maybe you've got a special camera that neutralizes them?
