In the above link video Captain Cook's Image is first seen as his statue overlooks Alaska's Cook Inlet named after him. The camera then spans southward to conclude with a view of Anchorage's Point Woronzof along with a Burning Red Sunset seen reflected in the waters fronting it.

For Historical Context linking Captain Cook's Statue to Point Woronzof:

Captain Cook explored the waters of Alaska at time concurrent with the American Revolution. On his ship was a your seaman named Captain George Vancouver. Close to two decades later that young seaman captained his own ship as he led the Vancouver Expedition from 1791 to 1795.

The expedition charted the coastline from Oregon to Alaska. His expedition was responsible for naming Mount Ranier, Mount Baker, Vancouver, and Whitbey Island. Expedition member Lt. Joseph Whitbey, for whom Whitbey Island was named, was himself responsible for naming Point Woronzof located today in the Municipality of Anchorage. He named it after the then serving Russian Ambassador to Great Britain, Count Simon Romanovitch Woronzof who was very popular among the British.

CONCURRENTLY TAKEN PHOTOS OF THE "BURNING FIRE" SUNSET:

FIRST a view that includes the sunset's reflection off of my office building as my vehicle is parked in front of it. In the photo both the distant silhouette of Captain Cook and the Fire Red Sunset are visible:
