Last weekend Sarah and I traveled to Nashville for a birthday/anniversary/visit grand-daughter trip. Friday night we headed down to the Ryman Auditorium, original home of the Grand Ole Opry. Wow, they were all old geezers!  But then, come to think of it … I’m a geezer and so are most of my favorite musicians.  Riders in the Sky on stage in image above … taken with the mighty Lumix GF1 (more on that soon).

We stayed at the Opryland Hotel, which is a wonder of the modern world … a set of  indoor environments that wind and wander for acres.  Tropical waterfalls, riverboats, palm trees.  Amazing.

I spent an afternoon roaming the pods of Opryland with my lensbaby, trying to make the surreal more surreal.
