Seminar Notes on Wet Brick Roofs in Havana

Condensation beads along the edge of a glass pane, blurring the view of red brick rooftops below. Inside, a seminar table holds open notebooks and scattered papers under cool north light. Students lean forward, their hands resting on the wood surface near the window. The wet season air leaves streaks on the glass, framing the urban landscape of Havana in soft focus. Sunlight falls through the moisture, casting pale highlights on the paper pages. A stack of books sits against the glass, its spine catching the light. The texture of the wet brick contrasts with the smooth, damp surface of the window pane.
