Dining Hall, Alcatraz Prison, San Francisco Bay, California, 2007

Bleak, grim, and severe, this prison dining hall once served the likes of Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, and Robert Stroud -- the Birdman of Alcatraz. The exhausted tourist sitting on the floor in this photograph expresses the mood of this place, along with the sickly governmental green walls and the barred window.

Yes it does, Tricia. The body language of the exhausted tourist sitting on the floor adds to that feeling.

The sight of the place itself with worn out walls and unfurnished gives us that feeling of loneliness and abandonment.
