Thank you indeed, Bill. I agree with you about the light so, in the 
present image a fire is indeed simulated behind the camera with two 
coloured area lights, in the kitchen area. I can increase its luminosity 
of course by increasing the fade distance. The sun light is already 
quite brilliant: Blackbody(6500)*10 using CIE.inc. I try to keep as 
natural an ambience as possible without using artificial fill in lights 
and such.

About time: retirement age has also its advantages ;-)
