The sun sets behind a live oak tree in Zilker Park.

The effect was created by starting a half-second exposure with my 18-70mm zoom lens set to 24mm, and smoothly but quickly zooming to 50mm after about 1/4 of a second had elapsed.

Thanks to my friend Jing for dubbing this the "puschhhhhhhhhhhew" effect. Please let me know if I spelled that wrong, Jing!
