    I bet it was a very interesting tour. I would have hated to be a resident there.

    Terrific captures, Costas! I agree that Alcatraz is a really interesting place to visit -- but visit only!! The atmosphere there is spooky, you can almost feel the sense of desperation, hopelessness and outright boredom! I found that the air and the skies were all the more beautiful as I left the island.

    Enjoy your weekend!

    I don't know if I'd ever want to visit Alcatraz. It looks so creepy ...

    Incredible display of images shared Costas. Very dismal...and it reminds me of how fortunate we are and also reminds me of a great movie and story of one of the inmates...Birdman of Alcatraz, with Burt Lancaster. Wonderful film...have you seen it?
