Corrugated Prison Roof
Corrugated Prison Roof Visitors to Alcatraz Island walk about on the broad path up to the main prison building.

Alcatraz Tower and Prison

Despite the late season, leaves still cling to the branches of nearby trees although they’ve turned golden-orange and make a beautiful covering on the ground.
