Hello everyone! I haven't posted here for a while, so I thought I'd 
contribute *something*. I've been working on this scene for a couple of 
days now. It began as an attempt to make a landscape which looks good 
from whichever angle you view it.

The jpeg quality for these images is low, I'll admit. No post-processing 
was used, except for converting from tga to jpeg. I used less than 20% 
jpeg smoothing. The camera is looking to the front, right, back and left 
starting with image number one.

The whole scene is composed of scattered height_fields, a bunch of 
spheres with spherical media, and one ground plane. A cylinder connects 
the camera to the light_source to make the sun form a corona.

Average render time: about six minutes.

Questions and comments are always welcome!
