Clouds and sea #2

Storm clouds over the sea, St Martin, Carribean

The story behind this image

Walking back to our apartment on the evening of the last day of our holidays on St Martin in the Carribean and the sky is mind blowing.

There's a towering mass of cumulo-nimbus just off the coast that looks like a nuclear bomb has just gone off, glowing as it catches the last of the evening sun.

I wish I could stay and carry on photographing, but the plane awaits early the following morning and there's still the packing to do.

Oh well, it's a spectacular end to a great holiday!
