The Warden's residence at Alcatraz. It was burned down some time ago and now flowers grow in the ruins.

Goodness overcomes all? Wonderful how the beauty of nature obscures ugliness if we let it. Nice contrasts.

A flower for every troubled soul who resided there perhaps? It really is a nice photograph, and the contrast of construction & nature, co-habitating, make it very interesting.

I doubt he'd want to sleep there ;)

I'm glad something so beautiful came out of it.

Wow. This photo really contrasts the evil of the place with the purity of the flowers growing up out of the ruins. Did someone plant those flowers or are they growing wild? Great work, this photo tells a sad story with a happy ending.

Poignant contrast. Nature has a way of masking humanity's mistakes.

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
