Alpine rainbow

Driving north through the Alps toward the St. Gotthard tunnel, Swiss-German oldies station plays Beatles "Come Together." Suddenly, between the mountains, a rainbow, pale in the photo but surprising and vivid on the road. An invitation...to what?

Coming out of the tunnel, gray skies and a new landscape: flocks of woolly sheep that keep the steep Alpine slopes trimmed to riding-mower perfection. And on a new station, a Mozart violin concerto. Couldn't make this up.

That is amazing! Talk about synchronicity....
What would it be like if the radio came on with "Sound of Music"?
