The Wild Images Team Coordinator, Christina, Poses In The Center Of A Giant Ice Snowflake

If there is one thing that The Wild Images Team should be known for, it is our dedication to photography. We will spend long hours and trek through harsh conditions to be rewarded with a perfect photo op. You may see the picture with this blog entry and feel that this doesn’t exactly look like harsh conditions, but it was far tougher than you might think. This was at an indoor ice sculpture display at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, with a theme of Twas The Night Before Christmas. Everything here was made of ice. It was kept at a balmy 9 degrees F in here. Whatever, we have also been in much colder conditions too. But the difference here was we spent two hours in the various rooms here to capture shots with no other people in them. Moving is one thing but standing in 9 degrees F is tough. Especially when you are not in heavy winter gear. But it was well worth it. We emerged with our camera equipment frozen solid and unusable for several hours, but with a great series of images. Here is one of those images. Our Coordinator, Christina, poses for a picture in the center of a large ice snowflake. And after this, we had more to the story. 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.
