The word for today Tuesday 10th Nov 2009 is ETHNIC

Wow!!... could do so many images for this word ETHNIC but after spending all day thinking about it decided on the image below. Partly because it is self explanatory and secondly l love the magazine cover! The other thing about this image is how l had to take it. I felt like a spy because WHSmith does not allow you to take photographs in their shops..not many shops do actually! So l had to make sure none of the staff were any where need me...shoot...and run!!!!! Luckily l managed it and l was so happy that it came out in focus!!
