The mountains surrounding Los Alamos are completely black. For the most part, they are currently devoid of life.

Concerned about flooding, the city has contracted Aero Tech, Inc. to continuously fly four tanker airplanes out over the mountains and dump a mixture of seed, mulch, fiber, and water all over the place to help the regrowth process.

I went out to the airport yesterday on my lunch break and watched them fly. I tried to get a picture of them spewing this green funk out over the mountains, but they were too far away. The areas where they're dropping mulch have this weird artificial astroturf look to them right now. Even the burned tree trunks are a funny green color.
