Lengthwise koi pond

Here, in a skew view, is my window's prospect down onto the hotel koi pond.

The lush greenery is a visual feast but indicative of a general temperature and humidity that is summery at best and oppressive at usual-status-levels. This view is perfect because it could be taken from inside the hermetically-sealed bubble of air conditioning provided for arctically-acclimated non-locals like me.

This post's theme word is burke, "to murder by suffocation," or "to silence or suppress," or "to avoid or bypass." The muggy atmosphere burked my usual tourist's enthusiasm.
