On top of that you can make the sunlight slightly yellow or orange to
create an extra effect.
For my work I make a lot of scenes which are on the whole very
unrealistic but the lighting somehow adds a special atmosphere (or so I
like to believe).
I haven't tried radiosity for this, I'm afraid it will only increase the
render time to even worse proportions.
