A distant fire

Went to my golf club this morning and instead of my golf clubs I took my camera whilst two friends played.  It was very hot so they just played 9 holes.  In the distance we saw a large plume of smoke. and we guessed correctly another burning field.  I later saw a report in the local press of a fierce field fire 20 miles away.  The golf course was tinder dry but the greens were green as were the Tees.
