Nice!  It looks close to what Terragen does.  Is that done entirely in POV,
or are you using terragen clouds?

I've been using terragen renders on a sky sphere but that requires pretty
much making a new sky for every scene specific to the lighting of the
scene.  Been looking for a way to do it in POV that could be controlled by
the SDL.  I'll definitely be checking out your site later!
