Thanks Bottles!, I got lucky that I was able to keep the camera steady and get this shot. It was taken from a ferry and it was quite windy and the water was choppy as you can see. Anyway, your right, this place is pretty interesting and the tours fill up pretty fast .-Ryan

Ryan, what a clever idea for the rock theme! Great shot, I like the way the water tower on the left tends to balance the buildings on the right. You've got a good photographic eye! I've never seen this place up close like this so it's very interesting to me, thanks for sharing this one.

Thanks for your comments Denise. Go ahead and shoot "The Rock" for the sample gallery if you want. I don't mind at all :) - Ryan

Great!!! I thought about shooting "The Rock" for the sample gallery yesterday ;-)) I like how you captured the beauty of the sky and the water and the deterioration of the prison itself. Nicely done.
