Rick, thanks for the comment.
I have tried many things with this image. :-) Whenever I try to get rid of the brownish sky it somehow looses oll its atmosphere, as P.J. wrote before. If I try a b/w conversion, the second I try to make the blacks black the whole image turns black, too. Maybe I'll give it another try once I've learned how to use LR/PS a little better.
