This time, with radiosity.
I am still not entirely satisfied with the scene. I think it is too bright,
with too little contrast. I am sure how to improve this, so, any comments
are more than welcome.
I used the following settings:

global_settings {
  #if (Radiosity)
  radiosity {
    pretrace_start 0.08           // start pretrace at this size
    pretrace_end   0.02           // end pretrace at this size
    count 35                      // higher -> higher quality (1..1600) [35]
    nearest_count 5               // higher -> higher quality (1..10) [5]
    error_bound 0.2               // higher -> smoother, less accurate [1.8]
    recursion_limit 1             // how much interreflections are
calculated (1..5+) [3]
    low_error_factor .3           // reduce error_bound during last pretrace
step
    gray_threshold 0.0            // increase for weakening colors (0..1)
[0]
    minimum_reuse 0.015           // reuse of old radiosity samples [0.015]
    brightness 0.5                  // brightness of radiosity effects
(0..1) [1]
    adc_bailout 0.01/2
    normal on                   // take surface normals into account [off]
    media off                    // take media into account [off]
    always_sample off           // turn sampling in final trace off [on]
    //max_sample 1.0              // maximum brightness of samples
  }
  #end
  noise_generator 2
  assumed_gamma 1.0
}
light_source {<-(SkyScale*0.7),SkyScale*0.7,-(SkyScale*0.7)> colour rgb
<1,1,0.8>*1.5}

Of course I mean: "I am not sure how to improve this...."   ;-)
My wish dictated my typing!

My Dad always used to tell me.  The sky isn't always blue.  You might try
chaning the sky from blue to some subtle shades of red and yellow.

Bright daylight in the desert is a high-contrast environment,  try a few
extreemly options see what you get.  v. nice btw

Thank you all for the comments.
I have been experimenting and I think that the final render is due.
