McCluer told The Oregonianshe snapped the breathtaking photo near the Beacon Rock Golf Course while hiking along the Columbia River.
The Washington native told the news outlet she loves to take her camera on hikes and creates calendars for friends and family.
Simon did not reference McCluer in his tweet about the photo. He has since tweeted out a link to the New York Daily News' story on McCluer, saying "all credit to the photographer."
I did indeed see the uncredited shot in my feed and retweet, but yes, all credit to the photographer: https://t.co/sPFBVmEROj
