Ever Being The Gracious Host, Gingy Hams It Up For The Camera At The Opryland Hotel

It was worth every minute, and we had come out with hundreds of pictures of the various rooms made of solid ice at the Convention Center of the Opryland Hotel. Our camera equipment had been sitting in 9 degrees F for hours now, and as we emerged it quickly completely iced over from the scant humidity in the winter air of Nashville, Tennessee. We would not be photographing again for several hours at the least. But we had found the house of Gingy, where you could go in, claim a table, and build your own gingerbread creations. And everything was completely edible. So we spent the next few hours doing just that, decorating gingerbread men, women, children, cats, and dogs. And we ate it all right there. At this point the ice on the camera equipment had melted away, and everything was in working order again. So The Wild images Team went over to say hello to Gingy. And being the ever gracious host, he hams it up for the camera. This is one of those days that we will always remember. Happy Holidays! 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.
