This picture, taken on a summer evening, reminds me of a time when the cow bells from the meadows were almost the only sound on a summer evening in Äkäslompolo. A Laplander, then still a small village, lived his own leisurely life.

There were few cars and there was hardly any traffic noise. The clatter of the bicycle could be heard from the road as we little boys drove towards what was then Riemuliiter, where a traveling movie theater was preparing for the evening's cultural event.

Soon the village's soundscape began to be enriched by a new sound, when the pop of the aggregate started to be heard from Riemuliiter. The cinematographer had received electricity for his machines and we boys flocked to the place to marvel at the machine making electricity.

At the same time, we try to pass the man. He often asked us to go on a shopping trip for him and promised the applicants a free ticket to the movies for that. Of course, it was more than enough compensation, because the pocket money was tight from the parents for the movies.

Sometimes also the film's age limit, i.e. "not for children", ruined our aspirations for a cultural experience.

Although at that time the unit brought excitement to the sound world, today I still miss the calm, quiet summer evenings of the 1960s the most.

The atmosphere of the picture is exactly that old-time summer.
