    This is soooooooooooooooooooo beautiful. look like a lady quietly lying there, just relaxing. Cominig from the south, I grew up seeing Martinique everyday, and at night, one can even see the vehicles in Martnigue driving past. However, it is great to see our lovely Dominica. I give God thanks and praise for my country. I uplift it, not bring it down

    Always used to look at Martinique from home and was always amazed by it, but never, never realized that My Homeland was so so beautiful. Would love to see a photo like this taken in the night time. Thanks Photographer.

      Uhmmm – what would you expect to see…. expect pitch darkness with one or two lights in between. The island is sparsely populated for it size. The daytime view is the best – my lovely island stands proud and tall – beautiful Dominica.

    This picture is Oh so beautiful! Beyond words.
    I have never been to Marie Galante. If there is a reliable boat which could safely transport passengers across I would love to visit it. It is too bad we cannot swim to it. :lol:
