This limited edition fine art print by Roy Kerckhoffs presents a rare and evocative view of San Francisco Bay from Alcatraz Island. Taken on a rainy day, the moody gray clouds reflect softly on the calm bay waters. In the foreground, the deserted Parade Ground—once used for military drills—adds historic weight to the scene, while patches of vivid green grass bring an unexpected vibrancy to the otherwise muted palette. In the distance, the steep hills of San Francisco rise dramatically, revealing clearly visible streets and a partial view of the Bay Bridge. Roy’s artistic eye captures the contrast between the island’s haunting past and the city’s bustling presence.

Printed on archival fine art paper and available exclusively at MK Envision, this limited edition print is a compelling addition to any fine art photography collection.

About the Image:

"A view of San Francisco and the Bay Bridge from Alcatraz on a rainy day. From this viewpoint I liked how several streets show clearly on the steep hills in the distance. The Parade Ground is in the foreground. Before Alcatraz became a federal penitentiary, the island served as a military fort and prison. During that time, this open area was used for military parades, drills, and formations."
