It’s time for our weekly photo challenge, where I show you a cool place around Nashville, and you try to guess where it is.

Let’s start by reviewing last week’s challenge and winner:

“Great Beginnings,” a steel and glass sculpture by Beverly Stucker Precious, is located at the Bellevue Branch Library. Precious was inspired by the idea of a learning tree, and quotes from classic books are woven into the glass leaves. She created it in 2015, when the new Bellevue Branch Library building opened.

I thought this would be an easy one, but we had only one correct response! Congrats to Joy Mariano for guessing correctly. May your day be filled with sights that make you smile.

Let’s see if this week’s challenge proves easier.
