Description
This is one of the wonderful stairways leading to the balcony of the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. The Ryman, used for Grand Ole Opry broadcasts from 1943 until 1974, is also called "The Mother Church of Country Music".
Outside the gothic window on the back wall you can see a building with black stripes on the fae. Those stripes represent the black keys of a keyboard, and it is The Country Music Hall of Fame.
Here are some facts about the Ryman courtesy of Wikipedia: The auditorium first opened as the Union Gospel Tabernacle in 1892. It was built by Thomas Ryman (1843 -1904), a riverboat captain and Nashville businessman who owned several saloons. Ryman conceived of the auditorium as a tabernacle for the influential revivalist Samuel Porter Jones. After Ryman's death, the Tabernacle was renamed Ryman Auditorium in his honor. Architect Hugh Cathcart Thompson designed the auditorium.

Thanks very much Fiona. Good music is played here too. Maybe one day I'll hear it for myself.

Hi Glenn....this is just great...I love how your eye follows the railing to the back window and then leaves the building and rests on the scene outside! Excellent photography my friend! L/F
Glenn DiPaola replied:
Thanks Sandi. This is one of my favorites from the Ryman. I liked it in color but I liked it more in bw.

Thanks Ella. It's one of my favorites from my Nashville work - but not until I converted it to bw.
