    I am not seeing anything in that picture. I am all for patriotism, and I represent Dominica every chance i get. but honestly this pic is cr*p and undeserving to be there as photo of the day. Number one, a photo on a reflective surface and all u see is a flash, that hurting my eyes.

    So wait…. if i see a world map somewhere and i notice Dominica is on that map, or i see a list of flags for the countries of the world and Dominica is on it (obviously) that is something to shout about?? Those Dominicans who do that seem to b the ones who do not recognize their own country, when they see a little flag printed on a list among others they frighten and get all excited and take out picture of glass and reflecting flash. There’s a reason why the photographer use a nickname.

      I agree with you. That aint nothing..THERE IS A BIG DOMINICAN FLAG IN WASHINGTON DC NEAR THE DECELERATION AND SOME OTHER IMPORTANT AMERICAN ARTIFACTS.. There is some history behind it.. That a little more patriotic than this.

    WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT FOR US TO APPRECIATE WHAT OTHERS SEE AS SENTIMENTAL. WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO CRITICISE OTHER PEOPLE’S OPINION. I WISH WE COULD ALL JUST GET ALONE. GO DA GO! LOVE MY COUNTRY

    the strange thing is how do we know that this is the Eiffel Tower i dont see anything there that looks like the Eiffel Tower.

      I really doubt the person would lie to that extent. And if the flags are inside the tower, there isn’t really anything to see.

      Why can’t you just appreciate the fact that the person was delighted. Why you got to be all antagonistic! Sheesh…
