I came back from a trip to Pacific Rim National Park, BC, last week. During a five day stay, I enjoyed four minutes of ambiant sunlight. Most of the 350 shots I took were done from a tripod under a big umbrella under a grey sky, see this example:  . Here's another shot with just a little more natural light taken about two minutes later:  . Eventually I resorted to taking pictures of the very things which obstructed the light, i.e. mountains and clouds. Here's my two-mountain shot to match drugsoell's: 
I tried the same sort of thing attempted here. I added a blue hue to High Fog to compensate for the boosted highlights in the cloudbanks. Despite a marked improvement on the originals, the thing to remember is that, under such conditions, there is only so much information hitting the sensor and making into the picture.
There is, really, no substitute for natural light.
