One could argue that simply the white balance on these pictures wasn´t correct, however, I set it manually to 4700 K because this setting is closest to my visual impression of the scene. 3700 K would be necessary to pull the clouds to neutral grey. With daylight setting (5600 K) the pictures were already much too yellow.
