Mosquito control

I'm squeezing this one in there because I'm still in disbelief. Yesterday's outing took me to the salty wetlands on the San Francisco Bay. Apparently, they had decided to spray against mosquitoes at low tide, so these guys were out there in their cool machines (I really liked these terrain going vehicles). There were three of them and they were all spraying different colors - this was the "green" guy as you can tell from the stains on his vehicle. However, the smell around the area was extremely unpleasant and yet this guy wasn't even wearing a mask. How he could stand it is beyond me. I was certainly having problems with the gagging. I didn't get close enough to the other two sprayers to see if they were wearing masks.

Anyway, this shot is straight out of the camera - no crop, no adjustments, no nada ;-). I like it as it is so thought I'd share it - hope they got those West Nile Virus carrying buggers.
