Harmaja
Harmaja (Swedish: Gråhara) is an island and a lighthouse outside Helsinki, south of the Suomenlinna sea fortress. The island has been functioning as a landmark since the 16th century. A landmark structure was built on the island in the 18th century and a light house in 1883. The first lighthouse was only 7.3 m high and it soon proved to be too low. In 1900 the height was doubled by creating a rectangular brick building on a granite base. A large foghorn alerted ships in fog and in bad visibility. Harmaja received the world's first directed and undirected radio beacon in 1936. The lighthouse is fully automated today.
There is also a pilot station on the island.
During the 1952 Summer Olympics this was the center of the Olympic sailing event.

Harry & Maggie
by: SwervedriverI was born on a close street down a hill
The trees that line the street could sense the winter change
They felt the chill, they ducked and dived
And so we knew they were alive
Until the year the silver rain came down
The trees turned mauve and so did my hands
Oh and the sound, there was no sound and I'm freezing in the sun
Nobody cares to hide the dope heads and the suicides
'Cause everyone freezes in the sun
And it's fallin' away
I kicked around with Harry who lived near Salisbury Plain
He worked on the cathedral there every now and again
He worked with stone, carved with stone, odd jobs on the telephone
One sunny day he was sent to the Houses of Parliament
Chippin' away at the gargoyles under the blistering sun
He carved out 'Maggie Sucks' on the backs of every one
And so in five-hundred years there's gonna be some history here
After it all subsides in the sun
And it's fallin' away
And I don't wanna know
I'm glad I don't know
What's draggin' it under
Another day, another loon, a new pied piper calls the tune
So blow it up, watch it explode, Noah's Ark on overload
Wrestle with the results and throw 'em round the ring
Everybody knows there ain't no rules in wrestling
(Everybody knows there ain't no rules)
The referee's a dupe, only old ladies and children believe
I'm getting up now to leave, I'll go back to that street someday
The air's better there anyway
Though the trees are still gonna freeze in the sun
And it's fallin' away
And I don't wanna know
I'm glad I don't know
What's draggin' it under
Fallin' away and it's fallin' away
And I don't wanna know
I'm glad I don't know
What's draggin' it under
Fallin' away and it's fallin' away
And I don't wanna know
I'm glad I don't know
What's draggin' it under
