Our camera equipment was frozen solid. We had spent the last two hours inside of the indoor ice sculpture display at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. It is kept at a consistent 9 degrees F to minimize ice melting by keeping it cold enough and to minimize ice sublimating by keeping it not too cold. But in order to capture full images of entire rooms without people in them, we had to wait for the few and far between opportunities. And eventually, we were able to capture everything we wanted. So after standing around in there for hours, we now needed to thaw out too. The first thing that happened as we exited the ice sculpture display room into the warmer part of the convention center is that the camera equipment completely iced over from the scant humidity in the room. It would take another 2 hours for it to thaw out and become workable again. The second thing that happened is that we came across this house of Gingy. Then we remembered seeing the screen advertisement from the night before. Of course! Come Make Tasty Treats With Gingy. So The Wild Images Team headed in. 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.
