    Wow.   The photo by Jan Pendergrass is amazing.  Great capture of the light and excellent framing of the sun setting through that arc of Japanese Maple.  The foreground seems to rise up and complete the frame including the clouds, the Olympics, the rays of the sun, and shrubs/trees below.    Very nice.   So many elements and so well-balanced.
