Climate change, where a picture is worth a 1,000 words.

This photo is everything.

"Rare allegory of our time where the richest 1%, who are the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, realize that the planet is on fire under the effect of global warming and decide to devote all their energy to it."

We found the photographer who took these dramatic pictures of golfers in front of a hill on fire in Oregon

A dramatic picture of people golfing at Beacon Rock Golf Course in North Bonneville while a hillside across the Columbia River in Oregon goes up in flames has taken on a life of its own. It's been tweeted by David Simon for 30,000 likes. It has over 53,000 upvotes on Reddit. It's been shared on almost every social platform and meme-ified. All without attribution.

So, who took the shot? A novice photographer in the billing department of a company she'd rather not name, who lives in Vancouver, Wash.

"I don't golf at all," Kristi McCluer said over the phone on Thursday morning. Instead, she said, "I have spent a great part of my life in the Columbia River Gorge, hiking."

So when the Eagle Creek fire began, she decided she needed to see it for herself.

"I was actually going to drive up to the Bridge of the Gods," McCluer said. But she saw a parking lot and decided to pull in. After being told she couldn't park there because it was actually a road, she found a real parking lot that was nearly empty.
