Evening at the Lighthouse

starting at €90.00

The open sea is rarely calm. When the sound of the waves is absent, the calm is often also silent—except in early summer. In the north, there is plenty of light, and the cries of the terns echo long into the night. The low, soft cackle of the mama eider ducks waddling near the buildings on the lighthouse island in the dead of night melts the soul. That gentle chatter is among my fondest memories of the sea, dating back to my early childhood.

MAJAKKA seisoo maailman laidalla. Sileäksi kavutut portaat vievät lyhtyhuoneeseen. Sieltä voi nähdä pilvien varjot meren peilissä – ja majakkasaaren pienen maailman. 1950-luvulta lähtien majakat alkoivat jäädä ilman vartijoitaan tai jopa tyystin tarpeettomiksi. Vasta vuosituhannen vaihteen tienoolla säiden ja ilkivallan armoille hylättyjen merimerkkien kulttuuri- ja arkkitehtuuriarvot alettiin ymmärtää ja niitä ryhdyttiin pelastamaan. Jokainen, joka on osallistunut yhdenkin majakkamme pelastamiseen, on antanut lahjan kaikille suomalaisille.
