Miyoken,

There is a way I have been making light_sources visible in POV-Ray for 
quite some time now. The attached image shows such a visible light_source.

This is achieved by placing one end of a cylinder to the camera's 
location, and the other end to the light_source (roughly 100,000 units 
away). It is given specular and phong settings to show the effects of 
the light_source on the geometry of the tube.

To fill in the sky, I use a basic fog and background color.

I have attached the scene code to the sunset image posted here into 
povray.binaries.scene-images.
