A wonderful cover photo, a golf game with a forest fire in the background. A foreshortening telephoto lens was used, which makes the fire seem much closer. The golf course is [[ https://www.beaconrockgolf.com/ | Beacon Rock Golf Course ]], and the [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Creek_Fire | September 2 2017 Eagle Creek Fire ]] is 1.5 miles away, on the other side of the Columbia River. The fire started during the game, grew rapidly, and was starting to drop (cold) ash on the golfers when they reached the 18th hole.
