Ryman stage by glenn1112

I must say that what we see here poses a dilemma for a photographer. While we all believe in the importance and power of photography, I wish that activity near, and on, the stage was not taking place. What can you do? People want a memory from their time here. I waited for the people to leave so I could get one empty auditorium image but they never did, more came, one after another. I promised some more history (from Wikipedia) on this place so read below if you like. H & M works well on this one. “It was used for Grand Ole Opry broadcasts from 1943 until 1974, when the Opry built a larger venue just outside Nashville at the Opryland USA theme park. In an effort to maintain continuity with the Opry's storied past, a large circle was cut from the floor of the Ryman stage and inlaid into the center of the new Opry stage.” via 500px http://j.mp/1gCHO9g
