Featured: NORTHERN CALIFORNIA STYLE..Dec 17, 09
I shot this from a moving tourist boat.
Alcatraz Island is 22 acres and reaches 121 feet above sea level. Aside from the few natural rainwater collecting cisterns, the island has no source of fresh water. Located in San Francisco Bay, Ca.
ALCATRAZ HISTORY
I am self-taught in both photography and graphic enhancements…and what a fabulous, intensive journey I’m having!!!
My creative vision goes BEYOND the camera shutter..right into the Digital Dark Room where ART pieces emerge…each one reflecting a piece of my soul.

Really great shot Pat, it looks like a postcard :))
Thank you, Trish. This is a famous prison, now uninhabited. You may find the history quite interesting.

Your cohosts Cee and Chris
Lovely shot Pat – have viewed larger but still can’t see the Bird Man!
Thanks, Bob. I was surprised to learn there never were any birds involved, just the prisoner that wrote 2 books about it and was named “Bird Man of Alcatraz”….The link to the history is very interesting.
