Description
This is where that reflected light came from in my Ryman Windows image, from a modern office building across the street. And, as promised, another view of the AT&T building with its Art Deco inspired spires. You can understand how this tower dominates the town. Also in this frame I have the top of a street lamp. These are all over the downtown area.

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. The Ryman was used for Grand Ole Opry broadcasts from 1943 until 1974, when the Opry built a larger venue just outside Nashville. The Ryman then sat mostly vacant and fell into disrepair until 1992 when Emmylou Harris and her band, the Nash Ramblers, performed a series of concerts there, renewing interest in restoring the Ryman. It was reopened as an intimate performance venue and museum in 1994. (info courtesy of Wikipedia)

I love the perspective and angle you shot this at Glenn! It is such a creative shot! I like the green of the window in the brick building and how it is echoed in the green glass in the building on the left....and the same with the blue window in the brick building echoed in the blue glass of the building in the background! Excellent shot! L/F

Thank you very much. You have the experience of my turning the corner written well. I approached the Ryman at the old doors but you don't get in that way, so I walked past it and turned to see all this. It was the greatest contrast of the old and the new that I saw in Nashville - and there is no shortage of old and new.

I love city roofline pictures. So many people fail to look up at the architectural details. Very nice Glenn.
