On the right you can see a part of two of the four former gasometers in Simmering, Vienna's 3rd district. They were revitalized in an extensive reconstruction from 1999 to 2001, leaving only the facades unchanged, and now feature an entertainment center, several apartments, a students' hostel and an event hall.
Since the concept of a shopping mall did not prove successful, a transformation into the largest Music City in Central Europe took place by 2013. At its center are music schools and stores, including the Vienna Pop Academy, where young people are trained to become pop musicians in their free time, the Jam Music Lab, a jazz-pop conservatory for budding professional musicians. A concert hall offers the possibility of on-site performances.

This musician, Ken was signing Louie Armstrong style and playing his trumpet proudly on the streets of Nashville. Oh when the saints....
A 11 shot pano of downtown Nashville TN from the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge. At 4:30 am it was very peaceful. I have also found that this 16-35 f/2.8 lens shoots best at f/5.6 for my landscapes.

This photo was taken from I-40 on the south side of Nashville looking north in December of 2013...if you know anything about the skyline of the Music City, it looks nothing like this today!! The building that you see on the far left is the William R. Snodgrass Tennessee Tower...and, from this view today, it is not even visible due to all the new high-rises that have been added to the skyline. Nashville is definitely not what it used to be...whether that is good or bad is up to your own opinion?!?!

This, in my opinion, is one of and quite possibly the best restaurant in Middle Tennessee. They have locations in Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Lebanon, and Downtown Nashville (on Commerce Street) where you can get one of the best ribeye steaks you'll ever eat with a "side" of spaghetti. (Yes, I said spaghetti as a side item...it's great just like their other sides but I recommend it!)
This particular neon sign is at the Downtown Nashville location.
**Update...I actually already knew this but forgot...this location is no longer open. After the shut downs from that thing back in 2020, this location really never recovered and closed permanently. Fortunately, I had taken this photo in 2019 and the other 3 locations are open and as busy as ever!**

J. Percy Priest Dam (seen on the right side of the photograph above) was built at mile 6.8 on the Stones River, a tributary of the Cumberland River. Construction began June 2, 1963 and the dam was completed in 1968. Rising 130 feet above the stream bed, the combination earth & concrete-gravity dam is 2,716 feet long with a hydroelectric power generating plant. The dam has contributed significantly in reducing the frequency & severity of flooding in the Cumberland Valley since its construction. In addition to the far reaching effects of flood control, the project contributes to the available electric power supply of this area as well. Average annual energy output is 70 million kilowatt hours.
J. Percy Priest Lake (also see above behind the dam) encompasses portions of Davidson, Rutherford, and Wilson Counties in Middle Tennessee. It is 42-miles long with 213 miles of shoreline and contains 14,200 surface acres of water. The lake provides ample water area for recreation, fishing, and a great opportunity for great photography!

Located in the Heart of Music City beside the Johnny Cash Museum, Sun Diner Nashville offers southern hospitality and gourmet cuisine day and night. Our specially designed menu compliments the unique interior that celebrates Sun Records’ legendary artists we have recognized for decades.
The Sun Records sound was a fusion of rock & roll and country music (or hillbilly, as it was called in the 50’s) that was labeled rockabilly. The Sun sound was exemplified by early Sun recordings made by Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison.
This photograph is their neon sign on the front of the building taken at night for full neon effect.

I was at this place the previous day. But wanted to do an early morning sunrise composition as well. It's about 5:30 am and the sun is just starting to peek over the horizon.
Everyone needs some flowers in their day every once in a while...and it doesn't matter whether they are real or a mural! Enjoy these from the 12 South District in Nashville, TN...

This is a view of the Nashville, Tennessee skyline with a sculpture located in Cumberland River Park across the river from downtown.
Christ Church, located ten blocks from the Tennessee State Capitol, was built in what was once a residential neighborhood in Downtown Nashville. Today the church, in the Central Business District, is just one block east of Union Station, a National Historic Landmark, and one block west of two National Register of Historic Places properties, the Customs House and Hume-Fogg High School. The church, built between 1890 and 1894, exhibits many fine Gothic architectural details. Fronting on Broadway, the facade is dominated by a large rose window and a rectangular tower of open-work tracery. The front portals are beneath the tower. Unique in Nashville are the stone gargoyles at Christ Church. In 1947, when funds became available, the tower was completed in accordance with the original plans. Two years later, the chimes, which ring out the time every quarter hour, were added and are a special feature downtown. Christ Church is considered the finest example of Victorian Gothic architecture in Nashville. Built of Sewanee sandstone and Bowling Green stone, the church is noted for its unusual woodwork and beautiful stained glass windows. The excellent condition of the church today attests to the continuing dedication by the congregation to preserve and enhance a building of major importance in the downtown area. This year (2021), the church will celebrate its 192nd anniversary of its founding and itself was added to the NRHP on November 14, 1978 approximately a year before celebrating its 150th anniversary.
All information above was taken from the original documents submitted to the NRHP for consideration for listing and can be viewed here:

"I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you, I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

Toured the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, TN recently. The Gretsch guitars and drums have been a huge part of the music scene for over a century. Guitars as symbols of Nashville's country/rock/bluegrass heritage are essentially everywhere.
The Southern Methodist Publishing House is a five-story steel and concrete structure located at 810 Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee. The building was constructed in 1906 in the Commercial style. Built as the headquarters for the Southern Methodist Publishing House, the building displays a limestone and brick exterior with Neo-Classic detailing. The building has not been significantly altered and retains its original architectural design. It is an architecturally and historically significant structure of the early 20th century and was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places under criteria B and C because of its architectural design and prominent role in religious history. Because of these and many other significant facts, this building was listed on the NRHP on September 13, 1984. And all information above was taken from the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

TGIF right? Well it’s finally here and I hope you guys have some good plans for it. Let me kick off this day with the first post from the very interesting music city here in US. We had a blast and hopefully we will get to go back again soon. What do you think?

Address by President Lincoln at the Dedication of The Gettysburg National Cemetery, November 19, 1863
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
President Lincoln understood the respect & honor due the men & women willing to volunteer their lives for the freedom of our great nation. May we all remember these brave individuals and their families on this day and every other day!!
Seems appropriate on Memorial Day to show a photo that I took a couple years back and just rediscovered in the past couple of weeks. I can remember the day I took it clearly though...driving through the Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery and thinking how grateful I am to live in this country and know that there is an 'army' of men and women laying their lives on the line to defend it. But more somberly and respectfully, I was thinking about the many who have given the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country. That is what Memorial Day is about...remember them always!! They are true heroes to be idolized in the most red, white, & blue, patriotic American way possible...
