The Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, puts on an amazing display of lights and decorations during the holiday season. The indoor atria are filled with holiday lights, giant hanging ornaments, and adornments everywhere throughout. But the outside hotel grounds are just as festive. The Wild Images Team spent many days and nights exploring all over both the indoor atria and outdoor hotel grounds in search of photo opportunities as well as in search of all of the small reindeer that were hidden throughout as part of a game (we found all but 2 of them even during all the time there!). One evening while outside, we took a moment to compose this photo of strands of holiday lights strung together to the top of a tall flagpole, describing the conical shape of a giant holiday tree. Around the base of the giant tree are dozens of illuminated poinsettias to add a splash of color to the scene. 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.
