In a picture with a washed out white sky, but good detail on the ground, you can make it more interesting by adding a nice sky to the white area. I have a collection of sky photos, plus I take a few each time I'm out taking pictures, to have some that will blend in well with the scene. Just make sure the direction of the sun in the sky you choose corelates to the shadows in the picture.

Open the photo of the scene, and open the sky photo in your image program (I use Paint Shop Pro 7) then copy the sky and paste it as a new layer over the scene. Then in the layers tool, reduce the sky's opacity to 50% so the scene below shows through. Move it around a bit until it matches up well, then, with your lasso selection tool, select the portion of the sky you don't need, and delete it. Then change the mode of the sky layer from "normal" to "darken" and adjust the opacity again until it is what you want.
Let me make a quicj before and after picture to show you.
