Ceremony Glove Stretcher on Naval Deck

A ceremony glove stretcher board stands silhouetted against the cool glow of a cinderblock utility light. The frame is constructed of steel, rubber, and thermal plastic, against the matte paint finish. Paper forms rest atop the board, their edges catching the rim light. The scene unfolds on a naval deck in the dead of winter, where rough wind bends the visible frost. Deep shadows swallow the foreground, leaving only the sharp outline of the equipment against the bright fixture. The clear night sky stretches above, devoid of clouds. A thin layer of ice coats the metal rim, reflecting the stark white light.
