A nearby town capped its landfill some years ago. It's sat there, an ominous, unusable green plain, with ominous-looking ventilation pipes (like this--they always make me think of rearing snakes) sticking out of it.

Recently, though, it's been transformed. Now its surface is covered by shiny scales, designed to capture sunlight and store it for later use generating energy. Super cool.
