The Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, viewed from Point San Quentin, looking directly at Berkeley across the bay. If you zoom in, you can see the Campanile of the University of California, Berkeley, to the right of the traffic coming off the bridge.
This is taken just at the boundary of the famous prison at San Quentin - the barbed wire fence associated with the prison complex can be seen at the right of the picture.

Think of all of the lives that intersect here. The inmates, the guards, the employees, the families, going back through time till today. So many memories are in this building.

Reached the Bay Area today! I left San Rafael after lunch to catch the Golden Gate Ferry at Larkspur Terminal. The clouds parted when we reached San Francisco for a picturesque arrival to the city.

San Quentin State Prison is Californiaβs oldest and best known correctional institution, which was established on the site currently known as Point San Quentin, in July of 1852, as an answer to the rampant lawlessness in California at the time.
San Quentin State Prison is an all-male, minimum to maximum-security facility located north of San Francisco, and it was designed to hold up to 3,082 inmates.

This is an old beached fishing boat that is named the Carlynn J. This is a very treacherous bay to maneuver and she sits as a reminder of that.
Perhaps the ugliest bridge of the SF bay area⦠but even it becomes a thing of beauty as the sun sets and twilight begins, and the lights turn on.

I was taking shots of the SF Bay from Point Isobel when I realized that the infamous prison was right in the center of my shot. We forget this place is so close, woven seamlessly into the life of the Bay Area. It's the long bar of light just to the right of Mount Tamalpais.

Welcome to the Big Q, more formally known as San Quentin Maximum Security Prison. Located on the edge of San Francisco Bay in Marin County, with views of Mt. Tamalpais, the prison occupies some of the most expensive land in California. The only caveat is, the price of a condo here is not measured in dollars, but in years. It's certainly not a place where you want to serve a nickel and a dime for anything, although I can't state this from personal experience. Another place best viewed from the outside me thinks.

This is one of those not-so-swanky addresses in Northern California. Although, with it's views of San Francisco Bay to the east and Mount Tamalpais to the west, this could easily be the site for multi-million dollar homes. I suspect it's not going anywhere though.
This is a sight better seen from the outside, than from the inside.

E' freddo qui e piove... ma dentro la mia cella Γ¨ caldo.
Non posso vedere le foglie degli alberi da qui... ma le posso immaginare!

Opened in 1852, San Quentin State Prison is the oldest prison in California. The earliest structure on this site was a 268-ton wooden prison ship, The Waban, which originally contained 30 inmates.
Today, the correctional complex is situated on 432 acres near the San Rafael end of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and houses over 3,600 male inmates. Men condemned to death in California are held here.
I've been scouting this spot for years but the orange sodium vapor lights were unattractive. Earlier this year, some white LEDs were installed and the complex looks better by night.
