Awesome shots. We did Alcatraz a few years ago. Just too many people in the way of shooting. You have captured the sense of eternity in hell. Well done.
I wonder what kind of hell their victims went through.

This place is REALLY creepy. Definitely worth the trip if you like this sort of thing. This structure is amazing and the history behind it is fascinating. I spent three hours touring the facility, photographing every corner that I had access to and walked away with a feeling of doom for those who were imprisoned there.
Neat set and very interesting. Looks like a good place for ghost hunters to visit.

Thanks for the great comments. Glad you enjoyed my pics. This would be a great place for Ghost hunting and I think they offer that opportunity on occasion. My guide told me that one of the cable networks films shows several times a year in this prison. Spooky stuff!

Reminiscent of and depressing as Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin.
Thanks for sharing.

Agree. I managed to lag behind at times at Alcatraz to get some shots but I wish I could tour it alone.
I was an employee of the Federal Bureau of Prisons for 22 years, retired about 21 years ago. Federal inmates currently, and back when I worked, has/have it much easier than when Eastern State had inmates. I also toured Alcatraz 25 years ago and was impressed with the difference between it and the prisons in which I had worked. As a FPS employee, I asked and was provided a tour of a closed section of Alcatraz. A very interesting visit then and a very interesting photo tour here.
