Photos from Alcatraz

I'm recovering from a weekend in San Francisco, and am still amazed by a visit to Alcatraz Island, a now-defunct prison that is legendary for housing some of the most dangerous criminals at the time, and for being "inescapable" (though to this day we don't know if that's true).  I'll have a big post coming up when I'll talk about the visit much more in detail (I could go on for DAYS, it was so cool), but for now as I try to get back to normal, I'll leave you with some of my favorite pictures of the day.  They're a little out of context for now but won't be for long.
