Yes, but this non-parallel one makes it look as though the sun is there in the
corner and I believe it's out of the picture instead.  'angle 67' in the camera,
so it is a wide field of view.
Glad you liked.  I'll probably spend a good part of the day looking for those
first settings and when I do get it looking okay (that's a relative statement)
again I'll post the pov script.

Found this about it :
http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/%28Gl%29/guides/mtr/opt/air/crp.rxml
However it seems that crepuscular is meant for near horizon sunlight, "relating
to twilight" as it says there at the page.  Should be the same thing though even
if 12 noon and storm clouds obscure all but some of the sunlight.  The
parallel-yet-not phenomenon must only be perspective.

Yep, if and when I get this thing back to a better look I'll post the pov
script.
Glad you liked it too Hartmut, but it's really only trial and error for the
cloud textures mostly.  A contained media isn't too bad to work with.

| In fact the rays coming through the clouds in reality _are_ parallel.

Thanks guys, it'll be posted if I can return the clouds to more like the first
time.

Impressive, but I think that in this particular image the 
sky looks too close to the ground, I think it's just a 
scale thing.

I must say, the top pic is REALLY good!
