   This birds-eye-view of Nationals Park, found in southeast Washington DC near the Anacostia River, captures a warmer time at National Park when the picturesque striped green grass spells out major league baseball excitement. The Nationals Park is not only a masterpiece of glass, steel and concrete, but also boasts the first major league park to capture a "green building silver certificate" status.

And perhaps another World Series title is in store.
