Sunset, Winter Solstice 2010
View from University of Alaska Fairbanks' West Ridge. The sun has indeed already set in this picture, though some sort of remnant of its reflection is visible well above the horizon in the clouds, directly above where it set.
Interestingly, as I shot the setting sun that day I was the subject of a candid photograph...by a photographer from the Fairbanks Daily News Miner. As I got into my car to leave soon after this shot, the photographer approached me and asked my permission to put his photo on the front page the next day, to which I of course assented.
The picture of me taking this shot (or one of the many similar shots as the sun set) appeared on the front page of the newspaper the next day. Two separate links to his photo are below.

With what I saw as a gem of a picture-in-picture opportunity, I had a poster-sized print made of my shot, and placed the front page of the newspaper in an overlay in the corner. I framed it and gave it to my grandmother for her birthday. She thought it was great:)
