Amazing Clouds at Malmok Sunset shot

This classic shot is a
must do while in Aru-
ba. I took this shot of
this couple and they
were amazed how
lovely the picture
came out. Aruba’s
sunset is the best
and don’t go back
home without see-
ing it. The best time
for this shot is around
5:45pm. One thing is
for sure: all sunsets
are different in color
tonality so make
sure you do have at
least one.

I love clouds and the first thing I do in the morning is go out-
side and look at the clouds formation. Last week there was
an orange cloud formation in the south at sunrise that looks
like a sunset. Took this shot last month during the two days
of rain and the cloud formation was very different than usual.
For this shot I was standing on the cliff at Malmok.

Arashi is lovely at any time
of the day. You can go
in the morning, midday

come when the sun is shin-
ing direct on the beach and
not through the clouds. Sun
shining through the clouds
gives a grey look but with
direct sunlight you can
capture the turquoise in the
color gradient of the sea. I
recommend you go twice
to visit Arashi Beach during
your stay, first in the morn-
