Rock Solid Views: Alcatraz Island Prison Break Scenery

Zoomed shot of America's most famous former prison sitting pretty on its rocky island throne! Alcatraz looks deceptively peaceful from this Fisherman's Wharf vantage point - hard to believe this limestone fortress once housed Al Capone and countless escape dreamers. The lighthouse tower stands sentinel while those Marin headlands roll dramatically in the background. That turquoise water makes the whole 'inescapable island prison' concept seem almost vacation-worthy until you remember the bone-chilling bay currents. iPhone SE's digital zoom managed to pull this iconic view closer without requiring my own prison break from tourist crowds!
