OK, well the no_shadow made it renderable in one go.  No idea why the tree 
shadow would be affecting the sky rendering but hey it works.  Made the 
clouds a bit bigger, messed a bit with the lighting and put some more media 
in the air to make the ground fade to orange in the distance.

I'm thinking it just needs a house or something on that lump on the right in 
the foreground.
