    Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Some possess it and others do not. What I see is a beautiful setting with the houses between trees and the sunset in the background. It is a glorious view. Thank God I have eyes to see this beautiful picture and also the beauty of this picture. I am grateful for that.

      You don’t get it because you don’t know where Calibishie is – it’s on the east coast, and with all the mountains we have, if you’re looking for a sunset on the horizon, you’re SOL….you know what SOL means?

      That’s exactly what the photo is trying to capture. That fiery glow against the mountain peaks framing the village.

      DUMMY!!

    Is that all you have to say? Because you didn’t see a lady or maybe they didn’t care to see you, all you can do is comment negatively about a photo taken of the village? Please come better than that, I believe you are just playing. R u?

    That photo must have been taken from the Calibishie Lodges. It looks like some breadfruit on a fire in the distant, I can see the smoke.

      Laawd all mighty, if that is breadfruit on fire then they must be roasting for the whole island :lol:

      But just in case you were being serious that is actually the sun setting.

      not you again? thank GOD you grew up there and became a man now you saying not you again. Rome was no built in a day but Rome was built.you see when all of you get big and go away never to return to your villages and help develope it and give back to all you village then what you all expect. that village helped make you a man now how are you helping this village, is it by saying oh boy not me again? ungreatful some of you are just ungreatful. if you have nothing constructive to say then don t say anything. the south was not always how you met it when you went there it grew little by little and many persons from the south stayed there to give back and some who went away returned and gave back to make the south how it is now. B e a prodigal son go back home and help make a difference. A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH.

      @ mouth of the south

      What do you expect in the country, as we referred to those areas. Dominica in general does not have a bus schedule. You must realize that you are not residing in a big country/city. Even then the buses have a schedule and supervisors to monitor them, they could still be slow.
      Pertaining to gangsters. When people are idle and they are unemployed this is what they resort to and sadly so. Probably you could try to do something about it as helping your country and the youths to fruitfully do something. Less criticism, if none at all.

      You just a pitiful moron!! Sad thing is you wallow in your ignorance.

    • October 2, 2011

      I honestly cannot contain my anger.You are so out of order/place.Maybe the man u came to meet was not there.You had a bad experience with man since your childhood days,so you trying to pin it on Bishie?or the men in the village had no interest in your meg behind.Stop it,i think the picture is nice and so you never had the opportunity to watch a sunset in your life.Now i think you should sit and watch it like you in Bishie.I find you to be too much into everything people post.Ask for your comment about transportation…..it is so ridiculous,i refuse to dwell on it.And remember,there is not a man for you in here.
