The Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee is a great place to explore. While it is called a hotel, it is best described as enormous indoor atria surrounded by inward facing windows and balconies. The atria are comprised of many waterways and many more walkways, winding through the rocks and vegetation or passing overhead from an above view. For these reasons, The Wild Images Team has visited and stayed in the Opryland Hotel on multiple occasions, including during the holidays. One day while we were exploring the Garden Conservatory, we located this ornate lamp post that was made even more festive for the season. We captured images of this lamp post both during the day to detail the gargoyles and the snowman adornments and during the night to detail the orange glow of the bulbs. Here is the day time photo in which can be seen some of the atria vegetation and the glass ceiling above. 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.
