hi there,,, i would go with a spot light or area light and under the properties,,, use the volumetric option.... Might add some point lights with volumetric or turn on radiousity to give me better results.... but render time will increase... so watch out. But if your scene is large and the sky is like far away,,, i would use a cylinder and texture it and use the glow option to make it glow,,,, then photoshop tweak it to get good results,,,, Or if its an animation after effects should be ok.

Hope this gives you some idea,
Kumar
