Smoke

This was my hotel in Kota Baru, north-east Malaysia. Men in biohazard suits (you can see one almost in the middle of the photo) rocked up one afternoon and gave us five minutes to leave, then sprayed the place against malarial mosquitoes. The building isn't on fire, that's just the most flyspray you've ever seen in your life. Mosquitoes gave the place a wide berth for many days afterwards. So did most humans.
