Threatening Skies over Paradise

​On the very last day of our stay at the Hideaway Beach Resort in the Maldives, we spend the best part of the day at our little private beach behind our villa. Although we had been enjoying blue skies so far, this morning there were more clouds, and there was talk of rain. Unfortunately, the clouds didn't bring relief from the high temperatures - they were still north of 30 degrees Celsius, and the UV was higher than 10, making it very dangerous. To make matters worse, the feels-like temperature was higher than 40 degrees Celsius. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the clouds and darker sky made for an interesting and contrasty photograph. The blues of the ocean and the threatening sky contrasted nicely with the color of the beach and the shades of green around us. Overall, I was very pleased with how this photograph turned out – Hideaway Beach Resort, Maldives
