Now that really is nice... a bit of light bloom and more opaque clouds would
make it almost perfect.

One thing has just struck me - I don't think the top of the wall would be
properly visible, especially at night. Since the top sticks out of the
atmosphere by some 800-900 miles, it should probably be obscured by the sky in
the same way as the arch, only showing up where in full sunlight. I don't know
how to make that look believable :\
