    This is absolutely breath taking! Such a beautiful scenery. No wonder Dominica is called the Nature Island of the Caribbean. Thanks DNO for allowing us who are out of the island to share such beautiful moments. This picture makes me realise what I am missing.

    Dominica has always been the (nature Isle’ of the Caribbean) and with all the beautiful green Mountains, this is what makes us special and it is time we Dominicans wake up and respect our sweet Dominica. I am just 45 minutes from my Country of birth and do visit all the time.

    Fresh Water Lake looks stunning! Looking at the daily photos soothes my home sickness and relaxes me! I can’t wait to go home next year!

    As the people of her land, we just need to strive to maintain the attitude and conducts of Love, towards our fellow Dominicans and our Homeland, the only way Dominica can remain the Nature Island of Beauty, Splendor, and Culture.

    @Emil Ti Kwen: That perspective of the lake can be seen from the ridge that you climb when going to the Boeri Lake from Freshwater Lake. In the photo you can see the road leading to the car park at the Boeri trail head..

    Thanks to the person whose idea it was to provide these daily pictures of home. For those of us who reside out of Dominica at the moment it gives a touch of nostalgia. So natural , so serene, so untouched so beautifull,
    Lovely Dominica.

    This is the first time that I have seen the Freshwater Lake from this perspective and the scene is very beautiful indeed. The Tourist Board should contact Gershelle to use this pic. Congratulations to Gershelle Noel.

    Nature island. Dominica boasts of beautiful sceneries as this one. Just gorgeous! Such lush, natural greenery! Words are insufficient to express my feelings. Makes me homesick. Would love to swim in the water.
