A dating app the Lappish way: a video camera at the tailor’s shop to see if there are people in the bar

Close to the Norwegian border on road 92 is Finland’s most popular cross-country camera, whose image is followed from abroad.

In addition to the weather and road conditions, the image from Finland’s most popular cross-country camera can be used to check many other vital things.

The sun is shining even now at the Inari Weaver’s Lodge, where the helicopter camera is located on road 92. The camera shows, among other things, petrol pumps, a market and a pub.

– People don’t drive when they come for a beer,” Kekäle points out.

Kekäle, who has lived in Näätämö in Näätämö, also follows the Kelika camera himself if he is out of the community.

– It’s nice to see if there is a bustle on the surface of the village. After all, Näätämö is the cradle of culture. Everyone wants to come here at least through the camera, Kekäle estimates the popularity of the Kelikam camera.

The couple often vacation in Finland and even now they have been skiing in Saariselkä. At home in Germany, Manfred Weiss often looks at the Lappish weather cameras what the weather is like in Finland.

The picture of the Näätämö Kelikam camera has become familiar, so the couple decided to take a break from skiing, rent a car and go see a familiar village in the camera.

\”We told our daughter that he was looking at the link to the Kelikam camera that he sees us live through the camera,\” says Kerstin Ring.

Do I go to the tank or to the junkyard?

– Many people look at the camera that I am going to the tank or a snack now and try to see if it is even cheaper tomorrow.

According to Männistö, it is cheap to refuel in Näätämö.

\”Yes, there is certainly the cheapest gasoline in Lapland,\” he estimates.

Kauko Ljetoff is not sure if the weather camera on the surface of the village is in the right place. In his estimation, it does not give a truthful picture of the prevailing weather.

– It’s not in the right place for road maintenance, because every time you come to this village, the sun is shining and the weather is good.

According to Ljetoff, many people also look at the camera whether the store is open. He says that officials from Ivalo in Näätämö go shopping to buy a barbecue village.

The people of Näätämö say that the weather camera image can provide a variety of information.

Is the camera in the right place?

The camera in the village is easy to maintain and kept electrically.

– There is no limit to the snowstorm whether the road is in the villages or in the back. The road is always blocked when it comes to struck. Tarkiainen states.

He thinks it is due to the fact that tourists look at Näätämö’s landscapes and conditions from the camera.

– Näätämö is an exotic place, which increases interest. We have several customers from Southern Finland who come here in the summer. They follow the camera what happens in the village. Sometimes they play and tell their news. They say they have seen from the camera that there is a group of people here.

As a young man, Juha Kekäle and his nephew and his nephew found a foreign site on the web, which followed the Näätämö Kelika camera, then in black and white. The comments were flooded and the life of the village was admired in many words.

However, one online comment came to mind in Kekäle. At night, a local walked across the road to the shop yard and the comment was exhaustive:

– There, a local is going to get beer again, laughs Kekäle.
