On 14th June 1940
Russians shoot down a Finnish passenger plane called Kaleva (from Tallin
Estonia to Helsinki Finland). The monument has been erected to those killed (2
crew members and 7 passengers) in the crash. There was some political interest,
which I won´t analyse here…
Is that a cemetery under the big cross? Who is buried there?
the webcam seems to be out of order.
There are some really good photos of Keri on Google Earth. It looks like a fun place to visit.
Is it possible to rise view so that more sky is visible?
darkness now! :o(
it's a wonderful island! So calm and preaceful!
