Another holiday shot, this time taken on Maho beach on St Martin in the Carribean.
The weather in this part of the world can be amazing, with either clear blue skies or towering storm clouds, as was the case here.
I was actually at Maho to photograph the low flying aircraft that land on the runway just behind the beach. They're quite impressive! Anyhow, I'd finished that and was watching the clouds build up for the good storm that was about to break. I wanted to capture the menace of the approaching storm but needed some foreground interest so I framed up the shot and waited. After a short time this couple walked into the shot, seemingly oblivious to the apocalypse that was approaching behind them!
