Looking down the street
The long passages that run past the front of cells in Alcatraz have names, like "Broadway". I'm sure this "street" had a name, but I didn't write it down, so now I have no idea what it was.
The penned-in, overhead area straight ahead in this shot is the "gun gallery"; officers with rifles would keep an eye on the prisoners from the safety of this overhead cage; nobody down in the cellblock area would actually carry a gun, lest a prisoner get a hold of it.
Excellent! I must dig through my Alcatraz shots a bit more. I'm sure I looked over a few atmospheric shots like this one. Love the light on the bars at the end of the street. Superb!
