Decayed Despair

These are shots that I took from the ferry across San Francisco Bay last week as we passed Alcatraz Island.
I've never had any desire to take the tour and actually visit the island, I would imagine it would be awash in feelings of despair and hopelessness.

That said, I did capture these views of some of the
decaying buildings and rusty metal.

Even from across the water, there seemed an air of
old unhappiness and gloom.
