While on a business trip at Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, in Nashville, TN.

Under majestic, climate-controlled glass atriums, you’ll be surrounded by nine acres of lush indoor gardens, winding rivers and pathways, and sparkling waterfalls where you can unwind, explore, shop, dine, and be entertained to your heart’s content. Highlights include a 44-foot waterfall, laser-light and fountain shows, and tours aboard our Delta Flatboats – right inside the hotel.

During the day, ALOT of people were constantly wandering around (ruining shots!), and the overcast sky provided pretty flat light through the huge glass ceiling.  Things changed at night, however .  These pictures were taken in DARK areas with long exposure times.  What made this even more tricky was my lack of a tripod .

In between rain showers (and after forgetting a memory card for the camera), we have a few GREAT shots of downtown Portland.  I would say that these two photos are both in my top five favorites of all time.
