For over one hundred years, this old fishing cabin has withstood everything nature can throw at you.
Two-thirds of the cabin contains an area for fishing equipment; the rest is one room good for not more than four persons in sleeping bags if squeezed in.
The view in the photograph is direct to the south. The open Baltic Sea are to the left, hidden by a smaller island. Behind the cabin to the right is the archipelago, filled with thousands of small, soft plain stone islands, often without vegetation.
The archipelago of St Anna, county of Östergötland in Sweden.

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.
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.
