Here is the start of the curse:
"I curse their head and all the hairs of their head; I curse their face, their brain (innermost thoughts), their mouth, their nose, their tongue, their teeth, their forehead, their shoulders, their breast, their heart, their stomach, their back, their womb, their arms, their leggs, their hands, their feet, and every part of their body, from the top of their head to the soles of their feet, before and behind, within and without."

On I-75 heading home and came upon this UHaul with cleverly painted rear cargo door. I certainly thought the back was open until came side by side. Nice optical illusion advertising.
Blue Roundhead / stropharia caerulea. Pioneer Meadows, Derbyshire. 16/10/19.
My second visit to photograph the Blue Roundheads that I found yesterday.
Sadly they had been discovered by another (or others) who were less appreciative of their beauty. The largest had been trodden to a pulp and most had their caps knocked off ... presumably with the stick left abandoned beside the devastation.
Fortunately, I noticed this specimen amongst the grasses a little further away. It was small, only about 3cms tall and appeared to have been part of a larger co-joined group judging by the dead stem remains attached to it.
It was a perfect specimen of a Blue Roundhead in miniature. The domed aquamarine blue cap was very slimy and it's margin was still firmly attached to the stem.
{*When the cap eventually opens, a stem ring will be left where it was joined, but it doesn't last in situ for long.}
But it had to be the perfectly intact white scales on the stem that I loved most about this specimen. They were so fresh and dense that they completely masked the bluish-green stem colour hidden beneath them.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Vibrant shades of red and orange create an abstract composition with intersecting rectangles and lines. Bold vertical and horizontal elements add depth and contrast, enhanced by dark and golden accents.
The heavily crenellated southeast face of 21450 ft Rajrambha peak presents quite an eyecatching sight as seen from road to Munsiyari. Pl see large

The Eight Arch Bridge on the Stackpole Estate is a grade II* listed construction, in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is owned and maintained by the National Trust.
The bridge was built in 1797 to connect Stackpole Court and Home Farm to Stackpole Quay and the New Deer Park.
At some point face-to-face iron ties were added to hold the bridge together.
On 2 August 1996 it was listed by Heritage in Wales (now Cadw) as grade II* for its eyecatching nature as a major feature of Stackpole Park, and as part of the Stackpole group of buildings.
Took this photo at Spring Rose Championships in Perth W.A bit of a soft focus to it, eyecatching colours to this rose.

Wax, metal, heat, & rust make this texture. The art department uses these sheets of metal to put out fires on burning wax. The texture created is absolute art!

This is the Willemsbrug in the center of Rotterdam. It sits over the river Nieuwe Maas. The bridge connects the right embankment of the Nieuwe Maas with the Noordereiland. The current bridge is the second Willemsbrug. The first was designed by C.B. van der Tak, was opened in 1878, and named after King William III. The second bridge and current was designed by Cor Veerling and was completed in 1981.
The first plans to replace the old bridge originate from before the Second World War. A lack of money meant that it was not until 1981 that the new cable-stayed bridge was realized. Two red pylons of 50 meters high support the roadway. The entrance and exit ramps of the bridge are somewhat strange - they are not an extension of the bridge but make a 90 degree turn. The bridge would initially connect the Maasboulevard directly with the Oranjeboomstraat. This met with objections from local residents, who did not want the old historical habour (a.k.a. Oude Haven) to be cut in half and the Oranjeboomstraat to be transformed into a city highway.
In 1983 the new bridge was awarded the National Steel Prize. Next to the Erasmus Bridge, the Willemsburg is one of the eye-catching icons of Rotterdam.
Technical stuff
This is a daytime hyper long exposure. The specs are 100ISO, f8, 131 seconds and 11.2 mils. I used 2 Hoya ND filters. The PRO-ND 600 and the PRO-ND 1000. So, 16 2/3 stops in total.
The post-production was done in the black-and-white fine art style of Yoshihiko Wada. I wrote about him earlier. So, please visit these posts if you want to know more about that technique. All post-production was done in Adobe Lightroom.
Finally, I added some copyright signs (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
