Silver Falls

We decided to make a quick trip to Silver Falls after work, and some unplanned traffic had us arriving at Silver Falls State Park at 7pm, exactly one hour before the park closed.  A few side benefits of arriving late were complete lack of other people on the trail, as well as one heck of a sunset.

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 ;) .
