CHERNOBYL, Take 2! - Back through my archive!...

smokescreen: noun
- a cloud of smoke created to conceal military operations.
- a ruse designed to disguise someone's real intentions or activities.

I thought that title was quite apt! Here a truck, believed to be KAMAZ-53213 (an educated guess by my self-confessed "transport nerd" mate), bellows out smoke as it roars up the road.

At the time, I was doing a bit of crane lorry (with brick grab) driving to cover absent colleagues - so, while all the "bus veges" in our group were drooling over the LAZ buses, photographing this KAMAZ with crane was as close as I got to nerding out!

To the right of frame, you can see the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station - colour coordinated with the truck!

The people milling about were probably workers who still man the power plant.
