Alcatraz night tour

I should have posted these on Halloween because these photos are pretty eerie - PERFECT for Halloween! I went to the Alcatraz night tour with some folks from our company a couple weeks ago, and it was really beautiful! I thought I'd be freaked out, but the history of "the rock" and the run down infrastructure made it such a beautiful place to take photos. Beautifully dark. Here are a few from that night, some were left untouched and some were massaged to enhance the creepiness. :-)

View of SF skyline from Alcatraz. 30-seconds exposure

and one more at 6-seconds exposure. Which do you like more? I'm leaning on the 6-seconds

I loved these dark walkways with the overhanging lights.

Paranormal activity status. I got the CHILLS editing this one!

An exit from the jail cellars

These stairs led to pure blackness. So creepy but I love the color of the stairs.

These were some super old ropes hanging in the Embarcadero BART station - I can't find the history on them. Anyone know?

    Nice set. I like the 6 second exposure as well. Although the 30 second exposure may have more useability in post.
