I would like to see a frontal close-up and view. All in all, it says that independence in real life is still on the cards. It has not yet been concretized. Neither in its figurative form or literal form.
This initiative is really a metaphor for our stage of national development as an independent nation. It is all up in the air. Literally.
DEMONSTRATING PRIDE?
IN YOU-ALL MOUTH!!!!!
At 9:29
Always, that hopelessness sickness must rear its UGLY and ANGRY head amidst every noble idea being discussed.
Independence? what is that? how can you talk of independence when you cannot support yourself.
The woman in the picture will not stop in promoting her dead husband irrespective of how much it cost the tax payers.
@10:12 AM, she loves that country bookie to no end. But we the suckers pay for her sweet romance.
Big up St Omer.
The thing in real life is what counts. Smaller, but replicas should go on sale made of various materials. Even glass or crystal versions should now go on sale. I love birds. The imagery is great for a national monument. A bird in motion is superb.
But now is also past the time to rename Gros Islet and Castries. Either Vieux Fort or Castries known for their commercial activities should be renamed Arthur Lewis, and Gros Islet known for its more art and cultural orientation renamed Derek Walcott.
It would be nice to go to Arthur Lewis and Derek Walcott as significant places to go when visiting Saint Lucia. That would be one of the most meaningful demonstrations, going far beyond their inspirational guidance, that we can ever take to honour those two people. Such action would be monumental!
Indeed. The bird does not fly. Or at least it hasn't.
@ 4:28 AM.
When will we stop naming established places after other people.
You already have Arthur Lewis College, Derek Walcott Square, John Compton High Way, George Charles Air Port, and Streets by a dozen other names.
I think enough is enough.
@10:09
U all right with your shit talk of ugly/angry heads!
man hungry in this "F212ing country, can't get a job!
and u talking about noble idea?
if your bread is well-butted, good 4 u, "man"
I fell like bombarding a church, but I don't know if the preacher is inside it?
Talking Blues, Talking Truth!
Not all of us are seem to worship mediocrity and instead of giving the greatest possible recognition of national excellence. "Self-praise is no recommendation" especially when it is personal and indirectly driven by family members.
Saint Lucia has few natural resources. One way forward is to emulate the very best that has emerged from the people of this culture. Retention of names imposed by our colonialist past to me is not a very satisfying, nor a valued or respectable national virtue.
Lucia getting shaft she can't take it no-more! she ready to fly.
stay and take it like the stinking whore that you are 4 the pass 35yrs.
The govt of the day needs to invest in the ppl. They need to stop this elitism plaguing SL right now. Take a look at what's happening in SL. ..25% unemployment - 45% amongst youth and we now we to choose between two half white no good intentioned politicians.
It would be nice to see this up in a time when the island can afford to do it. First things First.

I have no issue with your wish to 'talk truth' in fact, I embrace that principle fully. BUT why must your truth be accompanied by filth? We would all respect both you and your words much more without the filth factor.
Try it, you might like it!
It's about time we get this story right. Alwyn and myself were independent competitors in this competition. We never collaborated. In fact I had no idea who my competitors were.
Before I proceed further, I am not an Engineer but an Architect, so my concern was not engineering as such but pragmatism vis-à-vis our economic situation--hence my simpler design--depicting a huge torch on a curvilinear fountain/bowl-on-a-pedestal, a centerpiece from which walkways radiated towards the green, the water and the highway entry...The Land, The Light, The People.
Alwyn and myself had the judges in a dilemma because I selected and designed the waterfront site just before the Sansoucis bridge, a requirement of the competition brief--hence both of us were given first prize, Alwyn for his dynamic superstructure and I for the other parts.
It must be noted that at the time of the competition the waterfront roundabout was not yet built. This roundabout is ideal to locate this monument.
Alwyn and myself have discussed this project several times since the competition result and are very eager to collaborate on a final form.
I am very happy to see Sir John's monument erected not long after the critics complained that his monument was desecrated in sordid storage at a local school.
If this bird is a metaphor for our national pride, then I know both are destined to remain rooted on the ground.
@ 6:15
get the @#!$#@!out!
what are U happy to see?
man go and ask god 2 forgive you 4 using your crack-head 2 insult people!
Keep on electing fleabags, POS and perps and ask us to adore them with monuments. Happy retirement. Teacher Desir will have had an envious retirement compared to yours.
