We all know that Tennessee is a solidly gorgeous place in the daytime, but what about at night? It takes up half of the allotted hours in a day, so it really shouldn’t be falling by the wayside. We’ve taken a look at the whole of the state – at night – and found some neat urban shots that are sure to get that jaw on the floor.
- This night shot from the Opryland Hotel makes the entire place look magical.

- The trolley station in Memphis looks pretty cool when the lights are low.
Jeff Futo / Flickr The long exposure here is right on point.
- The Orpheum Theater is said to be haunted…there’s quite a story, here.
Thomas Hawk / Flickr You HAVE to research the little girl ghost that haunts the Orpheum Theater halls. The story is quite…haunting, if we may.
- The Chattanooga Southern Belle looks beautiful across the river.
Brent Moore / Flickr The light on the river keeps us staring - we just can’t tear our eyes away from how lovely this is.
- The Nashville fireworks show on the Fourth of July consistently make it to the best in the country.
Eric Henderson / Flickr We came in at #2 last year - just behind New York.
- Creepy…this shot is of the Tennessee State Prison in West Nashville.
Dave Edens / Flickr Old Sparky was kept here until the prison shut its doors in 1992.
- Brent Moore caught this beautiful shot of the Henley Street Bridge in Knoxville.
Brent Moore / Flickr It looks like Christmas in the river - what a sweet shot.
- That southern night sky.
Jeremy Gillard / Flickr Romantic, anyone? We’d fall in love/get married/get engaged under that sky. Maybe not exactly in that order, but to each their own.
- And here’s Mississippi, looking ATTRACTIVE.
Thomas Hawk / Flickr The burning night sky is always a beautiful end to a Tennessee day.
- Broadway at night is pretty much the only time we think it’s pretty. Nice work, Thomas Hawk.
Thomas Hawk / Flickr Tourists and honkytonks on this road, folks. It’s usually a one time deal.
- It’s neat to see the stacked lights of downtown in the dark.
Brent Moore / Flickr It looks like a blur of light and legos, stacked in the heart of the state.
- Here’s the Walnut Street Bridge, looking awesome.
Brent Moore / Flickr Memphis has that whole holiday feel, here.
