Very nice and cheerful interpretation, @afre!
Totally different from my approach, but I suspect, closer to what have been the scene: an explosion of light and life.
Thanks for the compliment and music. This year I have been trying to follow retinex principles. Not easy to understand but fun to explore. I would get another bump in quality with dehaze; however, I am not motivated to resume the research. That said, it has been proven that they are closely related, so perhaps I am closer to an acceptable algorithm than I am aware.

I’m not sure if I’d have liked it. I like the dim haze of your edit.
Haze removal is a broad topic. Think of it as clarity done right, not including proper de-blurring.
You’re too technical.
I’m more on the poetic mood 
I keep seeing references to ART, but when I search for that I never get a result of development software. What is it?

I struggled a bit with the sun and getting the hues packed into srgb but I’m fairly happy with the result now.
