This year, the FFF+ monthly challenge of FOTF has changed from 'five images on the fifth' to 'freestyle on the fifth', where each month a member of the group chooses a theme and the image can be a single image, a collage or anything you like as long as it relates to the theme and is uploaded on the fifth of each month.
This month the theme of 'people' was chosen by Tricia.

Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on Multiculturalism Day
“I join Canadians across the country today to celebrate multiculturalism, and our long and proud tradition of inclusion and diversity.
“As the first country in the world to adopt a policy of multiculturalism 45 years ago, Canada has shown time and time again that a country can be stronger not in spite of its differences, but because of them.
“As Canadians, we appreciate the immense freedom we have to show pride in our individual identities and ancestries. No matter our religion, where we were born, what colour our skin, or what language we speak, we are equal members of this great country.
“Our roots reach out to every corner of the globe. We are from far and wide, and speak over 200 languages. Our national fabric is vibrant and varied, woven together by many cultures and heritages, and underlined by a core value of respect. Multiculturalism is our strength, as synonymous with Canada as the Maple Leaf.
“Today, let us celebrate multiculturalism as a vital component of our national fabric, and let us express gratitude to Canadians of all backgrounds who have made, and who continue to make, such valuable contributions to our country.”
All on one corner: Sikh (ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ), German (Gott), English (God), & Korean (하나님).
"תהווה saw that all the people of the earth wanted to gather in one place, so תהווה said, 'Let Us confuse their uniform language,' and so, with the diversity of languages תהווה created, the peoples scattered around the earth." - Genesis 11
With all the diverse (Roman, Greek, Aramaic, Jewish, Egyptian, etc.) cultures & languages around them, a rabbi once taught his motley crew of disciples, "Judge not." - Matthew 7:1
"Let there be peace on earth...."
"Unity in Diversity." "All One."
"Stop racism & prejudice/pre-judging."
Just a few thoughts this scene, including the stop signal, evoked for me--and reminded me of Chuck Lorre's humorous card:
I'm referring, of course, to the pizza place and hookah lounge right next to each other. This was shot on Steinway Street in Astoria, Queens, New York. And the bicyclist works for Grubhub, a food ordering and delivery platform for local restaurants.
The village was cut out mostly during the middle Byzantine period of the 9th to 11th century, when its Greek name was "Potamia". The top part served as a castle and watchtower over the region, from which it had far views. During this time it was an important rural settlement of Cappadocia. After the Seljuk Turkish invasion and during the later Ottoman period, the village Turkified but remained multicultural with its Turkish, Greek and Armenian inhabitants. Many of the beautiful old mansions, built as extensions of the cave dwellings, and a few mosques date to this period. Below the village is a green valley with a small stream, which you can follow up to the village of Ibrahimpasa.
Ortahisar, meaning "middle castle" in Turkish due to its geographical position between Ürgup and Üchisar, is one of the more quieter touristic villages of Cappadocia, and still inhabited by many locals. Many of its old mansions are still in ruins, yet some are being restored to become hotels.
The colors were overwhelming, far - fetched and at the same time extremely photo - inviting ... The theme was strong, communicative and at the same time amazingly pleasant to look at ... What you were actually hearing at was more of an interesting noise than of music ...
All that is missing from the above scene is actually the sound !!!!! All the rest are pretty much self explanatory !!! We are looking at a scene from Monastiraki Square at Athens, somewhere around noon !!!
EXIF: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX1, ISO 80, f 3,3, focal length 4,5 mm, shutter speed 1/800s, HDR made by only one original shot, no flash, no tripod ...
It was an interesting similarity between horns of that Venetian mask and cedars of that Persian Handicraft..

Australia is a beautifully diverse country! Even our bigot hate groups are multicultural. Here we have what appears to be a Spartan, an Anglo-Aussie and a Korean-Aussie all standing together "against the scourge of Islam that has overtaken Australia."

Hello, everybody. Sorry that my Flickrstream of late has been entirely made up of Hipstapunz Instagram posts. Work, familials, the usual. But! As it's half term for The Boy, I took this week off work. We're not going anywhere - just doing house stuff and I'm trying to get the Simm heads finished once and for all, because this is taking entirely too long.
I've acquired a few dolls over the past few months, although I haven't really had the chance to do much with them (apart from rob them of their clothes/accessories). Pleasingly, I've managed to get a fair few ethnically diverse dollies of late:
From the left: Singapore Girl Barbie. This was an exclusive sold on Singapore Airlines flights in the early 1990s. I actually have one somewhere in my mother's basement from the first time round, but this one I got on eBay for about 5 quid. She's wearing a sarong kebaya, the spiritual costume of my people (on my mum's side, anyway). Weirdly, it's made out of a kind of jersey fabric; my one had a woven textile. She hasn't got the most wonderful hairstyle, but she does have the 1980s Asian face (first used on 'Oriental Barbie', I believe), which is the most (East) Asian face there's been in a looong time, in my humble opinion. (While we're on the subject - why are 'Asian' dolls usually super pale? Maybe this is the south-east Asian experience in me talking, but a lot of us are a good bit darker than your average Caucasian...).
Game Developer Barbie: it seems that this girl works on mobile gaming and isn't into her AAAs, but she came with some really cool accessories. I seem to be alone in this, but I'm not a big fan of the Bambi sculpt as it comes from factory; I've seen some lovely customs of her though, so we'll see.
Photographer Lammily: a birthday present from my dad, but she took forevah to get to me owing to a succession of comical banking and postal errors. I think I might repaint her. Loving her hair, though.
Moaaaana! I had to get her, but as you can see, I still haven't busted her out of her box (which apparently can be turned into a boat). Loving her very different proportions from your average Disney Princess.
Project Mc2 Camryn: I bought her to nick her gear. I wanted one for the longest time, but I'm a pretty frugal dolly fancier (surprisingly enough!), so I waited until she started going on sale. I found her in TK Maxx for about 12 quid, I think, which was okay with me. These girls have great clothes, and I love the idea behind the range; just not sure how I feel about the dolls themselves!
Curvy Fashionista girl: hoping to customise her eventually. I really like this face sculpt. Waiting impatiently on (affordable) articulated curvy/petite dolls.
A petite Fashionistagirl, bought solely to nick her clothes for Hipstapunz. Call me weird, but I'm not really a fan of the Lea face sculpt - I find it really bland and rather featureless. Again, I've seen some great customs of her, though, so let's see. On the plus side, she's not a super pale girl at least!
Cloe: my first ever Bratz, believe it or not! Once again, I wanted one of these relaunched dolls pretty much as soon as I saw promo shots. I really like the concept that MGA is putting behind their doll ranges at the moment - I think they're better in touch than Mattel, really. Still, in keeping with my budget-minded doll collecting, I waited until I saw them on sale. And what a deal - I got Cloe for £6 in Home Bargains, a discount chain in the North of the UK. They get some great deals on toys (I got the Ashlynn Ella/Hunter Huntsman 2 pack for £10 there a little while back).
So that's my haul of late! Far too many, in the Boy's opinion, but eh. :p
