Crop duster

I had recently read an article about the damage pesticides are doing to the environment and some species, when a crop duster started working fields near our community. I had to admire the skill of the pilot, but wondered what he was applying. Interstate 55 goes past our home and the field is somewhat below the highway, which gives a slightly skewed perspective.

Watching crop dusters fly around back home used to scare me a bit because they fly so low and many times over traffic on roads. You captured an interesting moment here - I'm very scared for the driver in the car! But perhaps as you say, it's just the perspective that makes it seem worse than it actually was. Congrats on the WP :toast:
