Linking up with Chrisy at Living a Good North Coast Life for Reconnecting with Nature
It poured late Saturday afternoon. We were headed downtown to go to the CMA Fest concert and it was thundering, lightening and raining. Raining cats and dogs, as they say. They were calling for severe thunderstorms and, apparently, they were right. CMA Fest brings in about 80,000 people over the course of the week, and about 65,000 attend the concerts at LP Field.

Downtown Nashville has lots and lots of honkey tonks, and during CMA fest there are numerous music stages with live music. Most of the crowd stays downtown until it's time for the concert. The shortest route from there to LP Field is to cross the pedestrian bridge over the Cumberland River. The storms were bad enough that they closed the pedestrian bridge and they delayed the start time of the concert. The gates were closed and anyone who was already in the stadium was escorted to the concourse to wait out the storm. We were in the car waiting for the text message telling us the gates were open. FINALLY - about 8:00 pm, they opened the gates. As we got out of the car, I looked to the right and saw the sunset.
Gosh how stunning was that sunset? Sounds like you've really had some weather there in Nashville. Do you get a lot of summer storms there?
