Like something out of a fantasy movie, a Swedish woman in a misty field calls to her animals in a beautiful and ancient call, known as Kulning.

Visiting cows in a field during the still-bright summer nights in Sweden, we hear the clinking of cow bells as ethereal, echoed song fills the air.

The ancient Swedish herding call, Kulning.

This call has been practiced for hundreds of years in Scandinavia, and Jonna Jinton of Sweden is bringing attention back to the art of kulning through her Youtube videos.

It’s a fantastic sounding history, and feels like a true zen-like moment.

In the middle of the bright summer-night I went out to call for the cows. I thought that maybe, something deep inside them, remember the sounds from the ancient times when people called for them over far distances.
