Controlled burning of heather moorland on Moel Rhiwen near Caernarfon, Wales, UK, as part of a management regime designed to provide a mixture of rough grazing with new shoots & wildlife habitat with more mature growth. The photograph was taken looking ESE at 6-20pm on 17 March as the almost full moon (one day before full) was rising diagonally to the R through the smoke.
