Nashville, April, 2013. If you've been to Nashville, you'll probably recognize this. I call it Ray Gun, because it reminds me of something from a 1950s sci-fi movie. In reality, it's a building (I believe it's the visitor bureau)–a round glass rotunda topped with a radio tower. I added the highlights to the glass, then gave it its ghostly look. The curve on the bottom left is the roof line of an adjacent building, but to me it looks like the edge of a planet, floating in space. 

Remember Anne Francis in 1956's Forbidden Planet? Classic.
