Here is one of my favorites taken with my Tokie 11-16mm 2.8:

The 10 foot cross at Chapel in the Trees - Funks Grove, IL. The sun is over the lectern.
 
Another (actually going thru my folders today, organizing).

Always kinda liked this one. Not the normal clear view, I actually liked the obstructions (powerlines).

I'm trying to find non-sunset/sunrise photos of the sun, but I didn't label any of my folders pointing out any particular "sun" photos.
 
Sunset directly behind a palmetto tree at Viera wetlands (end of Wickham road in Melbourne FL past a water-treatment plant).

[how do you get the pic to show up directly in a post like Kris's and others above rather than a link? Somehow I've forgotten how to do this]
 
Here are a few from sunny Aridzona.

(Sry for the tiny size, this is as big as Flikr will allow.)

This brave little fellow managed about 2 lightning bolts before it dissipated.

Some great shots in this thread! Greg, that first one is amazing. Very dramatic.

Here's a few of mine. I try to get the sun in as many of my shots as possible. I like to create a sunstar effect, which happens if you shoot at a large aperature value and obscure the sun slightly using something in the scene.


Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park


Backlit LP Supercell near Oklahoma City


Bluebonnet fields in South TX


The Windows in Arches National Park, UT


Flowers along the Front Range of the Rockies near Glacier Park, MT

Thanks for looking!
