  11. Due to its role in immigration, #AngelIsland was often called the #EllisIsland of the West. In 1953, #California started to purchase the land from the Department of the Interior or #USDoI to create a park with open space, recreation and historical reservation. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #history

  17. Immigration facilities opened on #AngelIsland to replace the old ones in #TheCity. Due to the #ChineseExclusionAct, Chinese people were funneled through the station while Europeans were never detained. Detention could range from two to twenty weeks and roughly 175K attempted to pass between 1910-40. #photography #americana #wa #california #californication #canon80d #blackandwhitephotography #travel #photos #trivia

  22. Between 1891 and '92, a quarantine station was opened on #AngelIsland at Ayala Cove, then Hospital Cove. At this point in history, ships would be inspected, cleaned and any person would be isolated. Only a handful of buildings remain today. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #blackandwhitephotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

  27. #AngelIsland is the second largest island in the #SanFrancisco bay and was taken over by the #USArmy in 1850 before becoming a quarantine station. In 1905, it became an immigration station. The experiences of those passing through were harsh and caught under the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #blackandwhitephotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

  29. Roll Call

    I found this Coyote browsing a hillside late in the afternoon. It soon settled down for a brief nap. I settled in at a respectful distance to see what would happen next. There's no point approaching Coyotes to try to get a photo. That's very unusual behavior for most humans, and a suspicious Coyote defaults to running away.

  30. Watch for Oncoming Coyotes

    Late last year, I spent a few days camping on Angel Island, one of the most recent spots colonized by Coyotes in the Bay Area. The first Coyote arrived in 2017, and howled across the bay until a mate made the swim. The Coyotes wasted no time, producing their first litter in 2019. These dogged ecosystem engineers are already leaving their mark on Angel Island, keeping the raccoon and deer population in check.

  31. Jailbird

    This Common Raven was kind enough to perch for a few minutes while I figured out a composition with Alcatraz and the San Francisco skyline in the background.
