Visitors were in awe of the beautiful aerial images of their country captured by photographer Anne Casale who worked on the project headed by Director and Editor in Chief, Natasha Despotovic. The attraction showcased 130 aerial photographs from the provinces of Saman\u00e1, La Altagracia, Santiago Rodr\u00edguez, Santo Domingo, Pedernales, Barahona, Monte Cristi, Valverde, Puerto Plata, Santiago, Espaillat, Salcedo, Mar\u00eda Trinidad S\u00e1nchez, Duarte, Hato Mayor, El Seibo, La Romana, San Pedro de Macor\u00eds, Monte Plata, San Crist\u00f3bal, San Jos\u00e9, Azua, La Vega, San Jos\u00e9 de Ocoa, S\u00e1nchez Ram\u00edrez, Peravia, Monse\u00f1or Nouel, Independencia, Bahoruco, El\u00edas Pi\u00f1a and Dajab\u00f3n. Walking around the exhibition, one heard commentaries of all sorts. Visitors tried to guess where the photos were taken. Parents quizzed their children about the photos and where they were taken; friends commented amongst themselves about the marvels of a country that is unknown to many of its inhabitants; professors who promised their students to take them to get to know parts of their country, seen from the air. Walking among the giant images of pure color, one overheard comments such as: \u201cI saw things I never imagined existed in the country. We are getting to know our own places.\u201d \u201cThere are marvels in this country that one doesn\u2019t know exists. Through initiatives like this, one feels happy and honored to live in the Dominican Republic.\u201d \u201cIt is an extraordinary initiative that showcases the beauty we have in the Dominican Republic.\u201d \u201cI am very proud to be Dominican.\u201d <\/P> \u201cWe get to travel all around the country right here in this plaza. We really thank the organizers of this exhibition and its sponsors.\u201d <\/P> Other commentaries included: \u201cAn exhibition like this is very important for students — it showcases information about our country that enriches and educates us.\u201d \u201cOne sees the country from another angle — things that can\u2019t be seen at first sight.\u201d \u201cWe Dominicans aren\u2019t familiar with these things because we don\u2019t have the opportunity to travel to these places, our country is very beautiful.\u201d \u201cThere are people who travel abroad without ever knowing the marvels we have right here.\u201d Others said: \u201cThere has never been such a beautiful exhibition here in the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is one of the most beautiful countries and we don\u2019t even know it.\u201d \u201cWe get to travel all around the country right here in this plaza. We really thank the organizers of this exhibition and its sponsors.\u201d The Book<\/STRONG> New Perspectives: Dominican Republic is a masterly compiled 300 page bilingual English-Spanish publication comprised of nearly 400 aerial images.
