Description
Many thanks to jcinbama for the pine tree model.
This one took about 15 hours to render using 2 cores, quality 0.8, AA14. Cloud samples 128, atmosphere 64. Softshadows set to defaults.
Postwork: minor color/contrast correction and selective sharpening in photoshop
This was mainly a test. I can see putting a castle model somewhere down in that valley.
The clouds were "stopped" from flowing into the valley via a custom image map.
The foliage colors came out looking quite strange and I am not sure why at the moment. Still looking into why, but they will do for now.
There was a small lake in the valley, but I removed this to avoid a crash.
The terrain is just a standard power fractal with an additional power fractal added in with negative displacement to sheer out some roughness into the rock.
Many thanks for viewing.

I love how the clouds wrap themselves around that mountain peak and allow the sun light to scatter through them.
