A view from the air above the Phosphoric Ocean at night:
the remote shining sun-ring surrounding the ocean is not a boundary;
between the viewpoint and the sun-ring, the entire planetary surface becomes invisible not by sinking below a horizon - there is none - but only because of distance;
above, the sky is deep violet-blue, with a few stars;
near the ocean, it is berylline;
to the east, frosted clouds with amethyst canyons hide the moon;
beneath the clouds, rain gleams bronze and silver;
the ocean gleams near the sun-ring but shades to jet black below, where luminous green life swirls and sparks.

Kaor, Paul!
I admit to finding it difficult to IMAGE a horizonless world at night.
