Aargh! Yes, you noticed!! The coloring of the sky comes from the fact that I
used a spotlight, and as the sphere representing the sky is not too large,
you get this effect. Initially, I wanted to use media, but, for the time
being, I abandoned that option.
Have still to look at sky and sun indeed.

Well, they are the same object, only with a different scale and, of course,
y-rotation. Hmm... means I have to do something about this... In any case, I
am not entirely satisfied yet with them yet.
