I was just thinking, if you could determine the amount of cloud cover between the sun and the viewpoint, you could adjust the light levels for some neat effects. It would seem wrong when looking into the distance, but I don't think it would be too noticeable. Perhaps there is a way to only affect a

OK, now there's a version with a simple low pass filter implemented. Also, some more tuning went on.
