The facades of the restored 17th and 18th century Dutch colonial buildings in this West Indies harbor town have been deliberately painted in contrasting vivid colors to catch the eye and provide character. I did not wish to photograph them only for their appearance. If I had wanted such a picture, I could have brought any number of post cards showing such scenes. I had noticed the powerful cloud shapes that often occur over oceans during the day, and hoped that one might be in the sky over Willemstad at dusk. I envisioned a picture where the cloud, too, would carry color, as well as the buildings. At day’s end, I got my cloud, and a very powerfully shaped cloud at that. The warmth of the late afternoon sun is reflected on both the cloud and on the facades, and the rich blue sky sets them off perfectly. The scale incongruity between the big cloud and the small buildings makes their coloration even more effective.
