  • The prisoners' doorway to the yard, where things are looking a little run-down.
  • This large water tower looms over the yard, visible from practically anywhere on the Rock.
  • Rustic beauty overhead.
  • Greenery takes back a crack in the concrete yard.
  • The baseball field shows some disrepair.
  • Upstairs, where you might just get a nice view of downtown on a sunny day.
  • Old pipes and fittings on a brick backdrop.
  • Wildlife on the Rock.
  • Small brown birds abound here, so I tried shooting one or two with my new lens.
  • Can you see a buzz?
  • Nature makes a pretty comeback in a grim setting.
  • Workers' housing that managed to survive the years.
  • A prisoner's first view of Alcatraz, on the tunnel into admissions.
  • A brick switchback on Lombard Street.
  • Lombard Street, a 27 percent grade built with a couple nice switchbacks to allow travel.
  • The Kia made it all the way down without breaking.
  • An obligatory shot; perhaps the only time I'll ever see this view.
  • Several shots stitched together to fit in the immensity of this bridge. It really is big.
  • Haze drifts around the pylons of the Golden Gate Bridge.
