Cooley found this fire lookout tower while driving around Idaho’s Clear Water National Forest. The Forest Service has decommissioned many of its detection towers, and this one could be rented for overnight stays with a spectacular view. (2010)

Some of the photos do convey a sense of loneliness but my initial feeling is of a sense of hope for others. The existence of a point of artificial light in a vast landscape makes me feel less alone. Amazing photos either way.
