 Taken driving toward the Caldecott Tunnel under perfect hazy conditions. As I moved up the hill, the sun would change position relative to the trees/ridgeline, and I took a few frames.

Cropped to panoramic to eliminate big ugly streetlight; cloned out a tiny pole and some wires.

One tone curve, resized, USM at 88%, 0.6dia, TH=3; JPEG=9/10.

I find images like this are especially prone to oversharpening/haloing, and I like that less than a slightly softer look.

Thank you! I actually took this while driving (crawling) through commute-hour traffic!

I finally set this up as a printable image ... the image is so small I set it up like a "motivational poster" ... went searching for suitable quotations and found two ...

I like this the best of the three. It is crisp and clear.
