You have to look through a long distance to see it this clearly - Leeds/York direction from North York Moors

Towards the coast the other horror is lurking - click to view larger

The moors look good with Cotton Grass and Bell Heather starting.
It's very dry up there though.

Fantastic pix.

Who cares about going abroad when you have this sort of scenery.

No doubt it will be pollution smog once fires hve broken out due to the heat or vandalism. 

Hmm.. give me the deadly toxins over the North Sea murk please. 

I wonder where the smoke from this was heading.

We can smell the smoke in Cheadle Hulme this morning.

Refer to post #5  Fire broke out at the end Of Bath road and black smoke bellowing up from it. Nice and smelly on a hot day like yesterday. 

I suspect due to an inversion(?) the smoke from that big fire covered a very wide area, and is gently circulating in the anticyclone.

I think the MetO vis sat shows the plume from the Oldham fire all the way out to the west coast ( south of the Ribble)
