Description
I left all the Post-Its on the seat backs as they were when I was there in December 2020. This was how the Ryman started to bring people and music back. If you look just above the steps to the stage you can see a round sticker on the floor for social distancing.
Except for one other image, I removed the Post-Its from the pews to show the place as so many knew it and will know it.
I have to say that one detail in this image makes me smile. The flooring of the balcony shows all the marks that every person that walked on them left. There is a lot of history in those boards.

Great shot Glenn! You talk about the history held in the marks on the floorboards, the post-it notes are also a part of history, they are a sign of the times we are living in now. L/F

Hi Linda. Thank you! Nice to hear from you again. What you say is true - it's a part of Ryman's rich history that will be remembered, along with all the other significant moments. I'm still undecided if I will produce a Post-It free version. I like the POV in this one and my super-wide captured a lot of the auditorium. Maybe.
