This image depicts a scenic view of Alcatraz Island from across the bay. The island is dominated by the imposing Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, a multi-story building with a tan facade, positioned prominently on the rocky terrain. The island also features a water tower, a lighthouse, and some smaller buildings. A lush covering of greenery, dotted with patches of pink flowers, softens the harshness of the prison. In the foreground, the calm waters of the bay are slightly rippled. A white sailboat is positioned to the right, gliding across the water with its sails catching the wind. The sky above is a hazy gray, typical of San Francisco, with a few distant hills visible in the background.
