Genuine question, how does that picture relate to Fez?

Its outdoor tanneries are a big tourist attraction there. And they smell!

Go when it's raining. It chucked it down the day we went and there wasn't a noticeable smell. On the other hand, it's pretty miserable wandering the medina in wet weather.

It's the name of a city in Morocco

Since I had the exact same question, I did a little Googling, and the results were fascinating! It turns out the tanneries of Fez have been operating continuously – with no machinery or automation and using natural colorants for dyeing – for like a friggin' millenium. The leather produced there is prized for its quality, and exported to craftspeople all over Europe and the world, although many goods, like their famous slippers, are made right there in Morocco. Oh, and apparently you can just mosey into any of the several tanneries in Fez and they are happy to take you on an impromptu tour. I was so taken by this whole neat thing that I started helping the Wikipedian who created the pertinent articles with "translating" them into cleaner-flowing text. And I'm a vegetarian that doesn't even use leather!!!

I guessed 'fracture' and was quite surprised that it didn't work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_(geology)

I wish I had an excuse, but it's my fault for not thinking of any answer.

Jokes aside, fracture should work. Fractures include faults (the correct answer).

Also accept fiord?

Why? Your link is to a place in New Zealand. The correct spelling of a fjord is with a j, not an i.

"Fiord" is a valid alternative spelling in English for "fjord": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fjord

The fact that the link goes to New Zealand is neither here nor there. The fjords (or fiords) in New Zealand are just as valid as the ones in Norway.

(I mean: I didn't try to enter "fiord," nor did it even occur to me. I have no horse in this race. But Jerry has a point.)

I think benjaminmarker's point was that the link didn't lead to the landform fjord (or fiord) but rather a specific place.

Also accept Faeroes or Færoes (and Faeroe islands) - it took me ages to get the English spelling.

Also Føroyar and Færøerne? I think Faeroe Islands is just the older way to spell this. People are lazy, they drop letters...

Not sure how Filipino couldn't also be any number of Pacific Islander ethnicities. Any one of the people in that picture could be Micronesian.

Which, of course, starts with "F".

Maybe he means "Federated States of Micronesian".

But the ethnicity wouldn't be "Federationite".

Possibly because it starts with F? I thought of Fukui, presumably for the same reason.
