Here's the link to my pics that me & my Wife took on Alcatraz.

I really do love Alcatraz, it must have been so depressing for the inmates to be there, knowing that there was no safe or easy way of escaping.  San Francisco is 1.5 miles away across the bay but the current & freezing cold water would make it nearly impossible to swim it unless you were really fit.  There are no confirmed escapees from Alcatraz.

I've been to America 8 times over the last 4 years and have got many more great pics & memories from there.
North California really is beautiful - I lived in Eureka for about a year & spent just over a month in San Francisco.

Uhm, I somehow believe that it's not meant to escape from a prison ...

Been to Alcatraz myself in 2007 and liked it as well but actually found it a good place for a prison.

Yea Marloes,
I know what you mean, it was a good idea for a prison, I'm just looking at it from the inmates point of view as well

I think this is Beverley folk festival, any of you on it?


It's grim up north, the Yorkshire east coast

Thanks for the photos of Alcatraz originalgoth. I've never been there but the place is so familliar, must be all the crappy movies I've watched! Escape From Alcatraz, and The Rock spring to mind and didn't one of the Dirty Harry movies have a sequence there? There was also The Birdman Of Alcatraz but I thought that was a great movie.

Must have thoroughly depressing to stare out across a thin strip of water at the affluent and vibrant city beyond.

Cheers.

Sharing a bit of Northern California. These were all taken at the abandoned military forts just on the north side of the San Francisco Bay.

Our derelict asylum was turned into a prison.
