Out On The Water

Alcatraz was all booked up, as is to be expected, so I did a boat tour which took you out under the Golden Gate bridge, did a lap around Alcatraz, and down to the rough area of the ferry terminal. About 90 minutes, with a recorded commentary.
I think I’ve been spoiled by the live commentaries in Chicago & Seattle, and a few other places, because the recorded one just wasn’t as interesting. That said, they did have recorded comments from former inmates & guards, and mentioned the reunions which sometimes occurred.

Another in the photographing the photographer series.
I should do a really awful art book, …

Heading out and under the Golden Gate.

And then we turned around, and came back.
I stayed on the same side of the boat for a while, so we’re now looking at the Marin Headlands.

And then, there’s Alcatraz.

Not as good a shot of Coit Tower as I’d like, but, it’ll do.
And it really does look like a firehose nozzle.
