It's been 18 years since the only time I visited Alcatraz. I figured I was due. If any photo series deserves the black and white treatment, it's definitely this one.
Worst case, you get a refreshing boat ride to the middle of the bay.

Another structure that caught my eye on the way back to the boat.
