Daily Photo – Cigarette Break
Today's photo shows a tram driver taking a cigarette break. The number 11 tram to Rehalp sits outside Oerlikon station in this overhead shot taken from the Swissotel across the street.

Today's photo is a view to the east over Oerlikon from my room at the Swissotel. Maybe it's because our normal viewpoint is from five to six feet off the ground that I find high-rise views so fascinating.
Since Oerlikon lies between Zurich airport and downtown Zurich, in Switzerland, I'm guessing the time on the clock in the image is accurate.
Eiger is translated as Ogre, Mönch as Monk and Jungfrau as Virgin (or Maiden). The Junfrau is the highest at 4158m, then the Mönch at 4099m and the Eiger at 3970m, though it's the Eiger that has all the climbing lore associated with it in general and it's north face, or Nordwand, in particular.
Here, one of my traveling companions enjoys the fantastic scenery with the Eiger and Mönch forming the backdrop across the valley.
