Thank you. I spent many hours online searching for something that would be convincing and matched the vision that I had, a couple more redoing the wraparound in Photoshop, and a couple days waiting with bated breath to hear back from the original photographer for permission. The answer to your question lurks in the "outrage.txt" in /scripts:

"Skybox from panorama of Wright Mountain, WA, by Aaron Wilson; used with permission.

Great site, BTW, if you like natural wonders.

I've changed the bottom to clouds for my current rev; if you get up high enough and look down, I have a rock texture for the down side, that blends in the lower halves of the l/r/f/b sides, which was a little awkward. Clouds look better to my eye. Also ditched the depthwrite on the cloud layers that were giving HOM effect now and then. I'll be posting that soon.
