I have been to Alcatraz before, yet every visit reveals something new.
The weather was not great on this day as you will see in the pictures, but hey,
San Francisco is located in Northern California and well known for fog, cold weather and the likes.
Alcatraz really is in a state of decay, yet your visit and the money you spend there will help to sustain this unique monumentum.

One of the main buildings, which have not been inhabitable since the prison was given up in 1963.

The officers' meeting room.

The Water Tower on Alcatraz that provided fresh water for the inmates and officers.

Seagulls on a decaying roof.

A long lost stairwell.
