Utö Lighthouse
The Utö Lighthouse is located on the island of Utö, in Pargas municipality, Finland. The 24-metre-high tower is situated on the island's summit. After the original round lighthouse was destroyed during the Russo-Swedish Wars of 1808–09, the present structure was constructed in 1814, with the present lens installed in 1906.Photo: Wikimedia, CC BY-SA 3.0.

Utö is an island far out in the Archipelago Sea, with its lighthouse welcoming ships arriving to south-western Finland from the Baltic Sea. It lacks wood or farmland, the village ducking into the little shelter given by the rocks.
