Awesome pictures. The one with the dead trees is eerie.

I should have described a little more about what you're seeing there too. The volcano is to the right of the picture. on the side of the hill facing the volcano, the trees were blown flat by the blast and are laying there still, the trees on the lee side that were a little bit protected by the hill remained standing, but their limbs were all scorched off by the hot wind and debris. That went on for miles out from the volcano. Only the few miles around the mountain are now still left like that, the rest has been cleaned up replanted with timber.

The area inside the volcanic monument, they're leaving to see what happens naturally.
