Great photograph. Love the simplicity of the composition, and the exposure is perfect.

There is no better smell than a whitebark pine fire and steaming coffee .. especially on a 34° morning in a wilderness fire lookout at almost 10,000 feet elevation!
On edit: Wait! The smell gets better a little later when the bacon and eggs start cooking.
