A used tow target that has floated ashore on the island of Stora Gråskär, St Anna archipelago, Sweden.
In this part of the archipelago, one of the Swedish wings was conducting live round practices using bright orange-red tow targets. Sometimes they came floating ashore.

Interesting facts
The picture was taken on infrared bl&w neg film. A black filter was used in front of the lens, only letting through the infrared wavelengths. In nature, chlorophyll reflects this light to protect the plant from heat, making leaves and grass white in the photographs. Only dust and moisture reflect the light in the sky, making clear skies appear dark. This photograph shows a quite crowded atmosphere. As you move the camera toward the backlight, the sky will become lighter as you get closer to the sun. The infrared light will increase in intensity.
The fog lingered dense over the seascape on this particular day, causing the contrast to soften up.
Kodak bl&w Infrared High-Speed Film 2484 (now discontinued) with a Kodak Wratten black filter nr. 87. The film hand developed by the photographer. Negative scanned 2020, adjusted, balanced, and retouched from scratches and dust in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, preparing it for Fine Art prints.
