Thanks indeed. That is exactly the mood I wanted to convey. While 
working on the scene, I could feel (again) the chill and dampness of an 
early spring/summer day up in the mountains.

This sky is slow, but gives fantastic results - surely it was hard work to get
it right.
Many thanks for it. In fact, its beauty reminds me a bit of an old Mick
Hazelgrove source (cannot find it on the server) - Kingz. Here is my last
interpretation of his sky code (of course it would need work on the bottom of
the cloud container...).

Not so much excellent as unevenly distributed.  People tell me I'd make 
an excellent Jeopardy! contestant.  (Jeopardy! is an American game show 
dealing with knowledge trivia.)  But when it comes to things that matter 
in real life, I have lifelong CRS (and now I'm at that age when I don't 
know if it's CRS or "senior moments").

The speed is acceptable I guess. I have used other media skies which 
were much slower, Abe's for instance. Mick's clouds code is truly great 
indeed. I have used it a couple of times for dramatic effects. I should 
revisit it...

I have not been introduced to him, so I do not know his name 
unfortunately. Many Celts were black haired by the way ;-)

Well, "senior moments" is something I am quite familiar with... :-)

Is there ANY on-trivial scene that is ever truly finished ?

Yes, but the soap they used to wash them tended to make them turn some 
other colour, like blond or some red/redish shades.
