Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. BALLPK_120515_008.JPG: Step #1: PET (Polyethylane Terephtalate) bottles and [sic] are collected, crushed, and separated. Step #2: At a PET plastic processing plant, the bottles are sorted according to color and are shredded into plastic flakes.
2. BALLPK_120515_011.JPG: Step #3: Don't fret about removing the caps because they are removed from the shredded, plastic flake during this step. Step #4: The shredded labels are removed from the flaked material and can be re-used for other products.
3. BALLPK_120515_014.JPG: Step #5: The shredded, plastic flakes are then washed several times. Step #6: If the washed flakes will be used to make new bottles, the flakes go through an even more vigorous cleaning process.
4. BALLPK_120515_017.JPG: Step #7: The washed flakes are mixed with virgin PET flakes to make new Coca-Cola bottles. Step #8: If the washed flakes will be used to make fiber, the flakes are melted and spun into yarn that is identical to virgin polyester.
5. BALLPK_120515_068.JPG: Joshua (Josh) Gibson Josh Gibson is considered one of the greatest power hitters in the history of baseball. The powerful catcher led the Washington Homestead Grays to eight of nine Negro National titles from 1937 through 1945. Gibson utilized a powerful swing, and tales of his mammoth home runs have become legend. Over his 17 year career, he hit almost 800 home runs. In 1972, Josh Gibson was inducted into The National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Wikipedia Description: Nationals Ballpark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nationals Ballpark (or Nationals Park) is the planned new ballpark for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball. The facility is projected to open in April 2008. It will be located along the Anacostia River in southeast Washington, D.C., and will replace the Nationals' current facility, RFK Stadium. The new ballpark is being designed by HOK Sport and Devrouax & Purnell Architects and Planners, will seat 41,000 fans, and is projected to cost at least $535 million. It will sit across the river from the D.C. United's proposed soccer-specific stadium at Poplar Point. The site is Metro-accessible via the Navy Yard station. Fans will be able to view the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol building from certain upper deck seats and terraces of the stadium. It is unknown if the naming rights will be sold to a corporation.

Location:

The ballpark is being constructed on a 21-acre plot of land in the Near Southeast neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Although it is near the Anacostia River, the site is landlocked, bounded by South Capitol Street to the west, N Street to the north, 1st Street SE to the east, and Potomac Avenue to the south. The park will face to the north-northeast, in the general direction of the U.S. Capitol (located approximately 15 blocks away) and Union Station.

The park's orientation was controversial, because some expected it to have a full view of the Capitol's dome. However, construction of proposed stadium parking garages and future commercial development on plots north of the ballpark will block direct view of the Capitol from most seats in the park. The Capitol, as well as the Washington Monument, will be viewable from certain sections of the park's upper deck.

Transportation:

Nationals Ballpark will be located just one block south of M Street, SE, a main (and until very recently, underused) artery bisecting Southeast and Southwest Washington, D.C. The ballpark wi ...More...

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
