POTD: Sunset standoff between Cumulonimbus & Marina Bay Sands

Photo of the Day: I was walking to Fullerton Bay Hotel for the launch of the BlackBerry Z30 on Thursday evening when this majestic cumulonimbus cloud caught my eye.

It was towering menacingly over the Marina Bay Sands and was the only thing I’ve come across that was capable of counterbalancing the imposing hotel buildings.

It was getting dark and I grabbed a quick snapshot with the Samsung NX2000 that I had with me.

I like the way the camera managed to capture the vivid colours of the sunset, preserving the deep lilac and the slight orange tinge of the sun on the base of the cloud.
