alcatraz

I got on the early bird boat (845a) to Alcatraz Island and made it a point to be the first person to run around Alcatraz with my camera so I could capture photos of the prison with no people. I literally ran up the hill to be the first in line. Behind me there was a horde of 250+ people. The things photographers will do to get the shots that they want! ps...I am sooo glad that I brought my wide angle lens.

Excellent shot - somewhere I've always wanted to go. As a visitor.

Always good to escape the tourists. Great viewpoint and well suited to b&w.

Wow !! Many stories could be told about that place. Sad stories i'm sure. My son visited this place a couple of year, but he didn't take photos. Thanks for these great photos. Fav !!

Lucky you! We had planned on going there last year, but had to cancel our trip out west. These are all cool. Let's see more!

[Stephanie Swift]

Great pov here. B&w certainly suits this and your previous picture. Good for you for doing what you had to to get the captures you wanted. I think if I had visited here, I'd have felt gratitude for the fact that I was able to leave it at the end of my visit.

[Mark Pratt]

Great POV and the B&W really sets the mood.

[Susan]

Indeed, a perfect place for the wide angle! Love your images here.

[Richard Sayer]

This whole series is an excellent piece of reportage Krista.
