The life of an adventure photography team can be very demanding. You may think this is a strange first sentence for this blog entry given the title and the photo, but allow us to elaborate. First, there are the long days of travel from place to place. We carry all of our photographic equipment, clothes, food, and a mobile kitchen. So we drive everywhere. Once at a location, we make sure to maximize the photo opportunities during our time there. It is not uncommon for us to be out and photographing before dawn to catch activity at sunrise or in the wee hours of the night. So one late night while exploring the cavernous convention center corridors of the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, The Wild Images Team found this screen with an advertisement for Tasty Treats With Gingy. Note the date, just a few days before Christmas. Note the time, 1:10 AM. And we were on the other side of the hotel from our room in the Cascades section. We did not know at the time that this would play in to another long day for us. The Wild Images Team has captured many other photos in Tennessee including the indoor vegetation of the Garden Conservatory waterfalls and walkway, the secret spot where a backlit waterfall drops into a hidden pool, the frozen yet dreamy ice sculpture bedroom lamp scene, the working thermometer showing the ice sculpture display being kept at a frigid 9F, and the wonder of the larger than life ice sculpture nativity scene, each of which are available for sale in our store. Blog posts from Tennessee include the strands of lights that create a giant holiday tree over glowing poinsettias, in the Garden Conservatory where even the lamps are festively decorated, the location where snowmen see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil, the moment when a certain ogre showed up to Shrek the Halls With Boughs of Holly, the fantastic overlook of The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina in front of a giant holiday scene, the late night view of a glowing sign that invited us to come make tasty treats with Gingy, but first we bundled up for the ice sculpture display where The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina is in the middle of a giant ice snowflake, followed by thawing out at the House of Gingy outside of the ice sculpture display, and after finally thawing out the equipment, the ever gracious host Gingy hams it up for the camera.
