Alcatraz Island
I took this photo of this famous island from a ferry boat ride that was going by the sight. The island is known as “The Rock” and was home to a lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison and a federal prison. Native Americans call it an “evil island” and believe it to be cursed. A number of movies have been made on the Island. Tours are available to it. You can see a huge barge on the right of the photo and in front of the bridge.

Twin Spires And Trolley Lines
This is a photo of the famous Catholic Church called Saints Paul and Peter Church in the North Beach area of San Francisco. You get the spires as a quick image as I passed along one of the famous bus tours around the city. I love the trolley lines finding them interesting how they intersect and work.
I remember being younger and enjoying the electrical buses that use to run up and down Corydon Avenue in Winnipeg. They often lost their footing on the cable as they came around the bend and so I would enjoy sitting there watching them putting the cable back on the line. I miss those electrical buses and meanwhile they were good for the environment but we replaced them in the name of technological advancement.
