Burning skys over Cannock Chase is quite a poinient title to this atmospheric shot as Phytophtora disease has only recently been found in bilberries on the heathland of Cannock Chase (believed to have spread from imported exotic plants). The bilberry is currently all being burnt off with blow torches and fires in an attempt to stop it getting in to the heather and the Oaks

see this news report (it was also a feature on central news last night)
