I took this picture on February 1st at 2238 UT. The center of the Sun was about 3.5' above the horizon (apparent altitude) at this time at my location. The picture doesn't convey how bright and striking the two bodies were. I wasn't even looking for them, I was just walking back to work after picking up my lunch.
