Thanks to all readers who participated in our last installment of Weekend Fun.
Some of you got the correct answer, or close to it.
The photo was taken slightly off the coast of Portsmouth. The mountain in the background is NOT located in Dominica but is actually a mountain in the neighboring French island of Guadeloupe.
Enjoy the weekend.

I was well and truly wrong! Guadeloupe, amazing! Right next door and so close, yet like a different world where you can buy European goods , free from import tax (incl. cars). decent bread and cheese, quality tools at affordable prices and frequent daily flights direct to Europe at affordable prices. Where did we go wrong with our independence? Today we’re more dependent than ever and poor at the same time. Maybe we should ask France to adopt us as part of their country?
So what you’re saying is that we were dependent on France, and chose to become independent from them? Look at any other country where Britain was the colonial master and tell me what good it does being dependent on Britain?
this is the vew from the crabrits
Gaudeloupe !!!!
the one correct answer has the most thumbs down lol
the one correct answer get so many thumbs down…lol
DNO, Correction. Your explanation said that the photo was taken “slightly off the coast of Portsmouth”. Actually, I took that photo on 30th December 2008, from the edge of the Michael Douglas Blvd in Glanvillia, near one of the grounded cargo boats. The tallest peak in the background is La Soufriere, the tallest mountain in Guadeloupe. Seems like one of email contacts who I sent that pic to forwarded it to DNO.
for all those saying that the pix was taken outside of Purple Turtle, that’s not correct. The photo was shot from right across Prince Ruperts Bay, south of the mouth of the Indian River but north of PBH and Long House. That day I could see La Soufriere from Pottersville. The shot was zoomed in quite a bit, hence the reason why some folks want to associate the pix with Purple Turtle.
im laughhhhhhhhhing u people right now plz dont blame do u even no portsmouth ofcourse its portsmouth thats the view of Guadeloupe from the sea outside purple turtle ….wrong with u dno just said it
this photo was taken inTantan the white house in the back ground was a disco before.
Man go and drink some bush tea. You just talking so your comments will show on DNO. You not seeing that the photo was taken from Glanvillia with a zoom lens if you know what that is? The white building is Purple Turtle. Stupes man.
portsmouth, morne aux diables
The only place in Dominica this photo would come close to matching, would be Portsmouth and to be specific PBH area past the long house. But there is one problem with the photo, the location of the sail boats towards the beach and the stoney beach in the background does not match the landscape. I’m sorry but this picture is not Portsmouth and therefore most definitely could not have been taken in Dominica. Just look at the angle if it was Portsmouth, the photo would have to be taken from lagoon area facing southwest towards picard/PBH/Coconut beach. It just dont match. NOT DOMINICA
Sort,
They DNO told you it was taken in Dominica…Wat you trying to prove
You people just be Kray Kray.
Twas Possie, Twas D/A, mountain tis in Gauda…
My guess is.the photo was taken from Douglas Bay, north of the Cabrits and the mountain in the background is Morne Diablotin
mourne anglaise
Morne Trois Pitons
that is the tallest mountain in Guadeloupe. photo taken from a boat outside purple turtle.
What prize we are suppose to be having FUN discovering Dominica. Free education you want a payment.
We call it Morne Diablotin but just a reminder that the Skeritt cabinet changed the name of that mountain.That is Prince Rupert bay just outside Portsmouth
That’s Morne Au Diable in the background. Morne au Diable is between the Cottage area and Penville in the north of the island.
You’ve got it! Bravo.
morne diablotin
This photo was taken off the shores of Purple Turtle Beach, and the mountain in the background is definitely on island (I believe it’s Morne Aux Diables).
That’s at Portsmouth
Where in Dominica was this photo taken and is the mountain in the background located on the island?…
This photo was not taken in Dominica but on some boat/yatch in the sea. This is Possie, best place in DA Land and The mountain is Morne Au Diables.
By the way, I want my prize…lol
Its free up Friday we having fun….Have a great weekend DNO staff and bloggers
@IPO:
Dominica comprise not only the physical land, but also the territorial water/sea and airspace. So if the photo was taken in some boat/yatch in the sea that is part of Dominica, then the photo WAS taken in Dominica.
