You may've noticed an ugly gap in the horizon during your inworld travels. This is considered a bug; SL-24381 is the internal issue key as filed by Dan Linden. This often makes an otherwise-beautiful picture look unsightly.
In a number of situations, you'll want to prettify the situation by turning rendering of the "Ground" OFF, so your piccies look more like the examples on the right:
How?
First, if it isn't already open, press Ctrl-Alt-D to make the Client menu appear at the top of your screen.
Then, go to Client menu > Rendering > Types > Ground. Notice there's also a convenient shortcut for it: Ctrl-Alt-Shift-8.
You should see the gap disappear. If there's an especially prominent sun or moon in the distance, the difference should be strikingly apparent, and the full gradient that accompanies it won't be truncated. A sunset, in particular, will have even more of a visible, specular glow.

You're confusing me. The text above the pictures doesn't match the pictures. I think. Or try to think. But useful as ever!
@vint: OH DANGIT I uploaded the WRONG ONE. Yer right… I have them backwards… *does THE SWITCH* THANX.
Thank you so very much Torley.
Being ever so slightly obsessive compulsive that line has been irritating me more than I would like to let on.
Superb as always.
@Pix: I can relate to you on the OCD!
