Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This view, of Alcatraz Island, of the horizon to the tip of Tiburon, and on the far right, a slice of Angel Island, is from the stern of the boat--specifically, the Flyer, of Alcatraz Cruises--as it is docked at the Island, waiting for next 300 guests to depart. I was lucky enough to be one of the guys selling beer, pretzels, coffee and hot dogs at the back of the boat, and I took a thousand pics with my little iPhone 8. This sunset blew them all away. For the next month, I told anyone who would listen, "Hey, I think I saw Gabriel blow his horn a few nights ago, out by Alcatraz, in the San Francisco Bay." Yeah, it was that beautiful. And that terrifying.

And every bird took to the air, flying every which way but straight.

Sincerely, Greg Taylor

P.S. Other reasons to love this pic: The smokestack on the Industry Building The warden's quarters, the guard tower, that tree, the bird

The "mountain range" line of the horizon which has been identified by Native Americans--hundreds of years ago--as "The Pregnant Maiden Lying on her Back, Holding a Bouquet of Roses." (Her feet are aimed toward and hidden by the smokestack and her face is just shy of the tip of Tiburon.)

This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 76000209.
