#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
