Suomenlinna Church in fog at night with its lighthouse beams visible.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Suomenlinna Church, which doubles as a lighthouse, on a foggy night, making the lamp beams visible. The signal blink is the Morse code for the letter H for Helsinki; four dots. The beams are roughly in 60° separation, making a pattern of four beams in a half-circle. Surrounding the church is a fence, erected in the 1870s, made of 18th-century cannons and chains which were used as a chain boom.
Suomi: Suomenlinnan kirkko yöllä voimakkaassa sumussa, saaden kirkontornin majakan valokeilat näkyviksi. Majakka vilkuttaa neljä lyhyttä välkähdystä, joka on Morseaakkosissa H Helsingille. Kuvio on siis neljä sädettä puoliympyrässä, eli säteet ovat noin 60° kulmassa toisiinsa nähden. Kirkkoa ympäröivä aita on tehty 1870-luvulla ja muodostuu 1700-luvun kanuunoista ja salmien sulkemiseen käytetystä kettingistä.
Svenska: Sveaborgs kyrka på en dimmig natt med fyrens ljuskäglor. Fyren blinkar med fyra korta blixtar, som i Morsealfabetet är H för Helsingfors. Mönstret alltså utgörs av fyra ljuskäglor i en halvcirkel, med ungefär 60° separation. Stängslet, som omringar kyrkan, är gjord på 1870-talet av 1700-tals kanoner och kätting som användes för att stänga av sunden.
