A Magical Moment to inspire posting Coins of Color or of a Train theme

This past weekend we attended a Piano Guys concert here that had been originally scheduled for 2020 and then due to COVID rescheduled to 2021 and then on the eve of its performance rescheduled once again due to Piano Guys cellist Steve Sharp Nelson testing positive. The third time was the charm.

During the concert performer Nelson admonished all to look for "Magical Moments" in our individual lives after recounting how it was such a moment that inspired him to appreciate music. (As an aside he spent significant time in motivating the youth in the audience and described as a child with a learning disability he knew he was "broken" but it took years later to learn that those challenges actually equated to a "Super Power" that enabled him to excel in other areas.)

As we left the concert we encountered a spectacular sunset. As I stopped the car to photograph it unexpectedly a railroad train entered my view with the resulting "Magical Moment."

Included is the setting sun adjacent to Mount Susitna (a/k/a Sleeping Lady) and at the end the silhouette of Denali (f/k/a Mt. McKinley) can be seen on the horizon in the sunset's red glow.

Hopefully this link to the You Tube video clip works.

OK, not working as posted above, but here is the sunset sans train. (The title of the YouTube Video for anyone attempting a search is "Alaska Magical Moment".

    Just curious. Is there a way to post YouTube videos on this forum?

    Your link has http twice. Should only be there once.
