What approach is used here? Here is an image hidding some information.
I need to discover, what is the hidden text.



I tried to interpret this as 27 letter alphabet(with space) in columns, tried this with Ceasar cipher.
No meaningfull English word has occured. 

Does somebody have an idea what else can I try?
You tried interpreting this as a ternary code written in columns, but why not in rows?

It was really quite simple to solve.

Here's the code I used:

for n in ['110','012','111','120','112','001','011','012']:
    x = int(n,3) + 64
    if x==64:
        x=32
    print chr(x),


and here's the answer:
