EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of rural life in Vasterbotten, a region that is now part of Finland but was once part of Sweden. The woman standing proudly atop a hill, her long, flowing skirt billowing in the wind, is blowing the Lure, a traditional long horn used for signalling and calling cattle. Dating back to the late 18th century, this ancient Scandinavian instrument was an essential tool for farmers and shepherds in the vast, rugged landscapes of Westrobothnia and Vasterbotten. The Lure, also known as the Lur or Lurr, was a versatile instrument that could produce a wide range of tones and pitches. Its haunting melodies carried across vast distances, making it an effective tool for communication and herding. The woman's intense focus and determination as she blows into the horn, her lips pursed and eyes closed, speaks to the deep connection between the people of this region and the land they inhabited. This photograph, taken by Terry Parker for Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the natural world held sway over daily life and traditional customs were passed down from generation to generation. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Westrobothnia and Vasterbotten, who adapted to the challenges of their environment and created a rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
