All my years, born and raised in the bay area, and I never took a trip to Alcatraz. Left my SLR at home for fear of inclement weather (as was reported). The weather was wonderful and I was equipt with my wife’s half charged (My fault) pocket camera. While I still had a charge I was able to take advantage of the great clouds and plentiful textures. Then pushing the photos in Photoshop to add to the drama.
