#257 / One Of Those Pictures Worth 1,000 Words+



I obtained the picture above from a posting by Caitlin Busch, published on September 12, 2017, on the Inverse.com website.

The picture shows a wall of flames as it roars down a hillside in northern Oregon, barreling straight for the Columbia River. In the foreground, some of the patrons of the Beacon Rock Golf Course continue to play golf.

Busch reports that the picture "went viral," as it definitely should have. It would be hard to imagine a better way to symbolize our human unwillingness to confront what we are doing to the Natural World. 

Forget about global warming! As our president and his environmental appointees might say: "Play on!"
