I haven't taken too many photos of the lookout's interior, for some reason ... maybe because the place is in a natural setting that's so ridiculously photogenic that it attracts all the attention. But the lookout cab itself has its own exotic charm, at least from my admittedly-biased perspective. It's definitely not your typical studio apartment.
With that, here's a fisheye-lens shot of my living quarters. I apologize for not cleaning up the place before shooting the photo. :)
This is taken from the doorway, looking southwest. The big thing in the center of the room is the firefinder. The wood stove is on the left side of the wall; then some shelving holding the water filtration unit; propane stove and refrigerator; my "kitchen" counter; and the bed, with recumbent dog. The work desk and radio are on the right edge of the view. The Post-it notes above the windows are reminders of the names of the mountains -- important knowledge for the job.Everything you need, in 225 square feet!
And looking in about the same direction, here's a fisheye view from my catwalk on a recent rainy morning. There's something pretty cool about being in-between the clouds like that.
