PHOTO OF THE DAY: Flying high in Switzerland

photo of the daySome friends of Robert Guiste visited Dominica last year from Switzerland. They requested a Dominica Flag so he gave them one as a gift. They have been flying it high every day since their return to their home country.

Photo taken by Lilianne and Urs Leimgruber and submitted by Robert Guiste.

Photographers – novice, amateur or professional – in Dominica are asked to submit photos, photographer credit and caption to [email protected] for consideration for the Photo of the Day feature, daily on dominicanewsonline.com or news.dm.

Submissions can be accompanied by a brief profile and contact information of the photographer. Submissions will be published in the order they were received.

Photos must be taken of Dominicans and things Dominican. Note that submissions advertising any form of business or business activity will not be published.

Dominica News Online also encourages the submission of a variety of photos, ranging from nature shots, people shots, weird shots, interesting human interest shots, and anything ‘newsy.’

      So, why are you in Canada?

    That is good, but with it standing so high up there, it is still very hard for passerby to know what country it is from, unless that visitor of Dominica is able to tell everyone that it is our flag.

    However, thanks to you visitor, we know that you were satisfied with us and our homeland–that is what’s important here.

    This flag pole is very high…I mean it looks like it is like a “National” flag pole and not just something that someone has it their yard.

    Thanks for displaying our glory..I love our flag, so colourful and meaningful too… I love our National Anthem too… and the pledge…whoever developed these emblems did so wonderfully…I just can’t understand… God bless Dominica
