This is part two of the trip. If you haven't seen the first part yet, feel free to take a look.
Peeking around the edge of the island, towards the city. The sun is really just
about down now. The bridge on the left is the Bay Bridge.
We've climbed up the hill to the actual prison building on the top of the island.
There's a very well done audio tour which leads you around in the prison.
Another shot of the interior of the prison.
A typical cell. It's even smaller than it looks -- that's a pretty narrow bed.
It's interesting to pause here and think about all of the prisoners plotting
their escapes.
It's a real shock how dark it got while you were in the prison! I took this
balancing the camera on a handrail.
After looking at the prison you can go on some guided walks back down or just
look around a bit and wander down. It doesn't matter much as long as you get
back in time for the last trip back! You can tell it's a long exposure because
the guy walking in the lower left is rather ghostlike, and the flag is flapping
pretty hard. I tried a few shots and this is the only one where it more or less
held still long enough.
