Mount Ngauruhoe is an active stratovolcano in the Tongariro volcanic complex on the Central Plateau of the North Island of New Zealand. It featured as Mount Doom in The Lord of the Rings movie.
Mt Ngauruhoe (aka Mt Doom, from Lord of the Rings fame) makes a fleeting appearance through the gathering cloud. Taken just before sunset. Climbing this classic conical active volcano forms a popular (if strenuous) diversion along the very popular and spectacular Tongariro Crossing hike, arguably the best day-walk in New Zealand.
Teasels are known for their brown, prickly stems and conical seed heads which remain long after the plants themselves have died back for the winter. Between July and August, when they're in flower, the spikey flower heads are mostly green with rings of purple flowers. Found in damp grassland and field edges, or on disturbed ground, such as roadside verges and waste ground, Teasels are loved by bees when in flower, and birds when seeding.
Mainly found in England, but they do grow elsewhere in the UK. This one was at least 5' tall !
I found these at the side of a country road and I can assure you they were very, very prickly indeed, all the way up the stem ! I liked this one particularly for the shining spiders web it was wearing :o) Somewhere in there, there's a spider waiting .... !!!

Dunrobin Castle is the most northerly of Scotland's great houses and the largest in the Northern Highlands with 189 rooms. Dunrobin Castle is also one of Britain's oldest continuously inhabited houses dating back to the early 1300s, home to the Earls and later, the Dukes of Sutherland. The Castle, which resembles a French château with its towering conical spires, has seen the architectural influences of Sir Charles Barry, who designed London’s Houses of Parliament.

Black-eyed Susan is an upright annual, sometimes biennial (flowering a second year and then dying) native to most of North America, and is one of a number of plants with the common name Black-eyed Susan that also has purple on the side. It has the typical daisylike flower heads consisting of an outer ring of ray florets and a central conical head composed of many disk florets.
Pointed Snail/Conical Snail (Cochlicella acuta)
A much darker Pointed Snail than I have seen before. And at 8 mm the biggest one I have seen.
Glastonbury Tor is a conical hill in Glastonbury, England, which is topped by a 14th-century church tower. Rich in legend and mythological associations, Glastonbury Tor may have been a place of ancient ritual and it was certainly a place of pilgrimage for Catholics in medieval times. Today, it is a popular destination for visiting tourists, Grail theorists, ley-line enthusiasts, and those who make the climb to enjoy its sweeping view of Somerset countryside.
Amaryllis 'Bingo' is a variety developed in Brazil.
It is a plant with conical flowers, large, beautiful and red in color.
Its foliage is also quite ornamental.

The first intense red amaryllis to bloom today.
I was pollinated by the Orange Sovereign amaryllis (orange color) at my birth.
Cattleya is a genus of orchids from Costa Rica south to Argentina. The genus is abbreviated C in trade journals. Epiphytic or terrestrial orchids with cylindrical rhizome from which the fleshy noodle-like roots grow. Pseudobulbs can be conical, spindle-shaped or cylindrical; with upright growth; one or two leaves growing from the top of them. The leaves can be oblong, lanceolate or elliptical, somewhat fleshy, with smooth margin. The inflorescence is a terminal raceme with few or several flowers. Flowers have sepals and petals free from each other; the lip or labellum (lowermost petal), usually has a different coloration and shape from the rest of the flower and covers in part the flower column forming a tube. There are four polliniums (bag-like organs that contain pollen). The fruit is a capsule with many small seeds. R_8996
Classic vehicle taken with the Canon PowerShot SD400 camera in New York City. Note the conical chrome bumpers that were inspired by the ample bosoms of the "sweater girls" of the 1950s. Madison Avenue and US car manufacturers hit a home run with this motif.
Does anyone know the model and make of this vehicle?

Amaryllis double-flowered 'Bingo' is a variety developed in Brazil. It is a plant with conical flowers, large, beautiful, double and red in color.
Its foliage is also quite ornamental.
PS. In some double-flowered varieties all of the reproductive organs are converted to petals — as a result, they are sexually sterile and must be propagated through cuttings. Many double-flowered plants have little wildlife value as access to the nectaries is typically blocked by the mutation.
An amaryllis stalk will produce two to five large flowers. The colorful flowers have six tepals: three sepals and three inner petals. Amaryllis blossoms can be up to six inches wide.
PS 2: This double one does not have reproductive systems like the normal one:
The Normal amaryllis have a female reproductive system with a stigma, or pollen receptor, that leads to the ovum or ovary of the flower. Their male reproductive system has several stamens that produce pollen to fertilize the stigma.
The stems or stalks of the amaryllis plant can grow to an average height of 20 inches.
A healthy plant will produce one to two leafless stems.
Small Conical Snail (Prietocella barbara)
I spotted this small snail attached to a decaying leaf this morning.
Back to catch up once I get the kids from school.
Chashma-Ayub Mausoleum is located near the Samani Mausoleum, in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Its name means Job's well, due to the legend in which Job (Ayub) visited this place and made a well by striking the ground with his staff. The water of this well is still pure and is considered healing. The current building was constructed during the reign of Timur and features a Khwarazm-style conical dome uncommon in Bukhara.
Chashma-Ayub Mausoleum is in the middle of a small, ancient cemetery. The construction suffered some losses, but the preserved parts represent a combination of a harmonious entrance portal, and adjoining it are the remains of the western curtain wall.
The construction layout of the portal is in a traditional pattern, made up in the form of two pylons, forming the niche overlapped by the semi vault. The II-shaped frame, the inside of which forms the obverse surface, tympanum, and ktoba, is finished with an inscription above the lancet arch. The northern part of the niche portal is a limited gable wall with a doorway. From the western end the portal is adjoined by a deep brick wall that measures 5.9 m, of which the western portion has been lost. The wall is in the form of a trapezoid with a large base. The central room is overlapped by the tent-peaked dome. Except for the proportions of the construction, this monument has well-considered and perfectly executed decoration, the basic part of which is concentrated on the portal. The most effective place in the general composition of the decoration is ktoba, filled with Arabic inscriptions on a background of botanical ornamentation. The portal frame on the external contour is marked by the II-shaped zone, strengthened by girikh from intertwining octahedrons, made of terracotta bricks. Glazed inserts in turquoise fill the central octahedral sockets. A tape borders the frame and ktoba. The historical value of the monument consists of the exact dating written on ktoba (1208-1209 .A.D.) or the 605th year of the Muslim Calendar.
The Amaryllis Hermitage, has conical, large, beautiful, red-orange flowers with white stripes.
Dutch variety created in 1995 to compete with the popular Minerva. The two are very similar, but the 'Hermitage has less contrast, the "red and white" flowers are marked with a shade of reddish orange and the Minerva more red or pure bright orange.
The shape of the flower is what differentiates the most, the general impression is that the flower has a somewhat square or geometric quality.
Its foliage is also quite ornamental.
Amaryllis 'Tosca' has conical red flowers with white streaks.
The flower may be whiter or redder depending on the growing place. The edges may be white and the center red.
Very beautiful flower! It is the first time that it blooms magestically.
Its foliage is also quite ornamental.
Amaryllis 'Tosca' has conical red flowers with white streaks.
The flower may be whiter or redder depending on the growing place. The edges may be white and the center red.
Very beautiful flower! It is the first time that it blooms magestically. A floral stem with 4 flowers!
Its foliage is also quite ornamental.
PS. This beauty woke up from sleep and has already been in love with others. Life is perennial! Many others to come.
PS 2. Tosca/o (adj): It retains original characteristics, without external interference.
Pointed Snail/Conical Snail (Cochlicella acuta)
The first time I have seen a Pointed Snail awake and on the move.
Pointed Snail/Conical Snail (Cochlicella acuta)
I have seen (and posted) a number of these small (around 8 mm) snails this Winter. I like the colour contrasts in this one today.

Hello!! Just back from living with the clouds. I MISSED you...
The cloud is an offshoot of the famous Strath Taieri Pet...a lenticular, standing wave cloud, I was lucky enough to meet.
How cool to have a pet cloud...

The hill is known as Smooth Cone. "This unusual and symmetrical hill is a volcanic ash vent. The single pine tree (Pinus sp.) was planted on Armistice Day, 11th November 1918 to celebrate the end of WW1. Also known as Conical Hill, but never ‘One Tree Hill.’ "

Looking forward to seeing all your images...just might take me a while to catch up proper-like.
In the meantime I'll catch up improperly.
See you soon ;-)

Many of the formations are given descriptive names – sculpted by the harsh desert winds into weird shapes which constantly change over time. There are ‘monoliths’ and ‘mushrooms’, ‘ice cream cones’, ‘tents’ and ‘crickets’, as well as the majestic conical flat-topped ‘inselbergs’, to name but a few of the formations.
Beyond this in the ‘New Desert’ which is only accessible by 4WD or camel, the landscape becomes even whiter. The boulders crowd together, are higher and larger and everywhere weird shapes appear that might remind you of a chicken or a hawk, a troupe of dancers or an old men wearing a hat. The shapes change constantly as the light changes and you move around them and as the sun begins to set they turn a softly glowing pink.
Pointed Snail/Conical Snail (Cochlicella acuta)
Spotted in the garden today.
The shell stands around 12 mm (1/2 inch) high.
Cochlicella is a genus of small, narrow-shelled, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae.

North Berwick Law, sometimes abbreviated to Berwick Law, is a conical hill which rises conspicuously from the surrounding landscape (this is the definition of the Lowland Scots word "law"). It overlooks the East Lothian town of North Berwick, Scotland, and stands at 613 ft (187 m) above sea level.
The summit bears remnants of an Iron Age hill fort, and the ruins of later military buildings that were once used by lookouts in both the Napoleonic Wars, and in World War II.
Since 1709 the law has been topped with a whale's jawbone. The bone was replaced three times until being removed, due to safety concerns, in 2005. On 26 June 2008, a fibreglass replica whale bone, the same size as the one that was removed in 2005, was airlifted into place to give North Berwick Law back its landmark.The funding for the replica was donated by an anonymous friend of North Berwick.[ WIKIPEDIA

This is the Cornish side of Plymouth Sound, near Cremyll. This is part of the Rame Peninsula and is within Mount Edgcumbe Country Park. In the distance the conical shaped island is the Great Mew Stone, which lies off Wembury on the Devon coast. In front of it is part of the Plymouth breakwater with its 19th century fort.

A classic viewpoint of the Sligachan Old Bridge crossing the Sligachan River with the conical peak of Glamaig beyond. Arriving here mid-afternoon on the way to the first campsite at Torvaig was not an ideal time for a landscape shot here. The light was harsh, the other side of the bridge (for the best view towards the Cuillin Hills) was in deep shadow and trying to time a shot not filled with tourists required a lot of patience!
Glamaig is the Northernmost of the Red Hills on The Isle of Skye, Scotland. It stands at 2,543 ft tall and is therefore a Corbett. A Corbett being a Scottish mountain between 2,500 and 3,000 ft and therefore not a Munro which are over 3,000 ft. A lot of hill walkers like to 'bag' the Munros and might miss out on some truly beautiful mountains because they are just a little bit short.
My hill climbing days are long gone although I did thankfully bag one Munro before my ankle injury.
Enjoy!
