Crown of gold, Cochin Harbor, India, 2008

The gateway to Cochin's harbor offered us an unforgettable sight just after sunset. A blue hole in the golden clouds suggests a harbor of its own. I spot metered on the brightest spot in the sky, darkening the scene and giving the circle of clouds as much room as I could in the frame, reducing the amount of water and allowing ample space for the crown of gold to work its magic.

Thanks, Alina -- so much of cloud photography depends on the quality and color of the light that surrounds those clouds.

I think you meant to note this image:http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/95785543 There is perfect connection between that soaring minaret and the hole in these clouds. Thanks, Tim.

It seems to be what the minaret in the previous image is aiming for.
