beside the sea (dominica)...

KNOW ONE THING ABOUT DOMINICA WHEN I TELL YOU AND BELIVE ME AS MY PICTURES DO NOT DO HER JUSTICE…

‘THE FINAL RESULT of her majesty IS OVERWHELMING’

---

the many nicknames Dominica has accumulated over the years are too many to mention here today. However the most common title is ‘nature isle’ and while i am sure you can imagine why Dominica has this title, please trust me when I TELL YOU that you will neveR TRULY UNDERSTAND THE DEPTHS TO THIS NAME OR THIS ISLAND UNTIL YOU STAND, SWIM AND WALK THROUGH HER.

FROM THE VERY YOUNG AGE OF THIRTEEN DOMININCA EVOKED THE MOST INTENSE FEELINGS OF AWE AND WONDER WITHIN THAT I HAD EVER EXPERIENCED AND STILL, NOW, TO THIS DAY (AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF forty-three) DOMININCA IS BY FAR THE MOST JOYFUL PLACE MY HEART AND SENSES HAVE EXPERIENCED.

I IMAGINE THAT MOTHER NATURES SOUL IS HIDDEN AWAY WITHIN THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS OF THIS ISLAND. ALL ACROSS THE ISLAND OF DOMINICA YOU CAN SEE WHAT MOTHER NATURE IS TRULY CAPABLE OF AND WHAT SHE CAN CARVE AND GROW WHEN SHE IS LEFT TO HER OWN DEVICES.

WITHIN DOMINICA YOU CAN SEE THE HARMONY OF ALL FOUR ELEMENTS FROM THE FIREY PITS OF THE VOLCANO, TO THE FRESH FLOW OF THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE RIVERS, THE CRISP FRESH MOUNTAIN AIR AND THE FERTILE RED SOIL FROM WHICH ALL MANNER OF JURRASICESQUE PLANTS, FLOWERS AND CROPS THRIVE.
