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.
Here's a tighter framing of the Manila sunset I posted yesterday. I think this must have been my last night in Manila on this trip as my next photos were taken in Switzerland, on my way back to Libya.
I believe someone once told me I hadn't lived till I'd seen the sunset over Manila Harbor. Well, one evening in 1990 I got that opportunity.
Mindoro is a contraction of the Spanish 'Mina de Oro' or goldmine, not that there's ever been a big discovery here but panners do find gold in small quantities.
