    Beautiful photo…
    Just what I said earlier…There is nothing to
    protect the road from the sea.In the photo,the
    road appears to be the beach.
    It’s beautiful now,nice and calm weather in DA now,but then check it out some time at the end of
    the year and you’ll see how beautiful it will be.
    It will be in the sea once again,and the jokers
    will be back at it again,begging some other country for money to fixe it,only to build it the same way again.Someone needs to let the jokers
    know that they are only throwing the people hard
    earned cash into the sea time and time again.
    How sad…

      Sorry to say but you sound kinda foolish and idiotic.

      At the end of this year it will be sea again?

      When was the project completed? Check it out.

      If it was to become sea again, it would have already done so.

        But who died and made you king of the jungle? Who are you? Did you change your blog name? You seem to be very disturbed. Find a hobby or a girlfriend. You need to get some other ways to relieve yourself. How do you expect others to take you serious when all you do is attack people calling them names. You know what, scratch out the girlfriend part, get a pet instead. One should not have to be subjected to such abuse.

    Absolutely nothing to do with the pic of the day! But I must write this. What is up with Depex? Who are they advertising to? Couldn’t they find some Dominican in school uniform and graduation pic to use in their advertisement. This ad bugs me. Ma gwe sah, pick a school, take some photos…class photos etc. This is ridiculous.

    Oh by the way, great photo of the day. Very refreshing.

    Hello my people. What a beautiful photograph. The government should build three piers for the boats to anchor there and they can put a few restaurants on the piers .

      It’s a marine reserve, so they seldom allow ships to drop anchor in this area. But I must say this area is the most picturesque area in Dca. eh.

      • March 7, 2013

        Okay I didn’t know that and it should stay that way. Thanks.

      Te sea is not blue. It is the reflection of the sky. The waters in and around Dominica are colourless (clear) as water should be. It’s the blue sky.
