Narrative:
At approximately 8 miles from N47 flight following was terminated and I switched from 125.15 to 122.8 which is the CTAF for N47. At that time I began to announce my position and intentions for N47 on 122.8. I continued to self-report 5 additional times up to and including my final approach to runway 26. Audible on 122.8 were other aircraft at fields other than N47. No other aircraft from N47; or en route to N47; were heard on the CTAF at any time during this incident. On final to runway 26 I was headed into the sun and had some minor sun glare issues. Upon touchdown and beginning roll out; and while still on the active runway; another aircraft taking off downwind passed over top of me by an estimated 150 feet horizontal and 35 feet vertical separation. I could not see this aircraft approaching as it blended into the background and the sun glare. Witnesses on the ground (including two CFI's) report the offending aircraft taxied out to runway 8; turned onto the runway without stopping/looking and immediately proceeded to take off downwind. The identity of the offending aircraft and/or pilot could not be established. There were no injuries or damage as a result of this incident.
