The Parthenon (Centennial Park, West End Ave): Full-scale Greek columns create Nashville's most majestic backdrop for cap-and-gown graduation photos — book before sunrise to avoid tourists, especially in May and December. War Memorial Auditorium (6th Ave N): Limestone steps and a classical-style government facade create an official achievement atmosphere perfect for university and high school graduates. Percy Warner Park — The Steps (TN-100): The grand limestone staircase with the forest as backdrop is the favorite for west Nashville school graduates — the late afternoon light is exceptionally photogenic.
