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 .... !!!

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.

The flower of "Syrah berbiana", the bud I posted before, has bloomed.
Eventually all the flowers will bloom and become conical.
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.
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.
The very first building is the Church of St. John the Baptist (built in 560-580). It is a cruciform church, very simple and strict in its construction. The caves dug by the monks and now visible around the monastery and along the road leading to the monastery complex belong to the same time. The church dome rests on an octagonal drum and is covered with a conical roof. Inside the temple was placed a richly decorated stone iconostasis with scenes of the life of St. Shio, which is now in the Tbilisi State Museum of Art of Georgia. The bell tower of the church was built in 1733.
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.

Cant resist posting another shot of the Icelandic horses passing by this conical mountain in South Iceland.
Two wet goldfinches (female, left, and male) in the rain. I don't think they mind rain much.
Will be sorry to see them migrate inland and south soon. Already fewer of them.
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 ;-)

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
Glastonbury Tor is a hill at Glastonbury in the English county of Somerset, topped by the roofless St Michael's Tower, a Grade I listed building. The whole site is managed by the National Trust, and has been designated a scheduled monument.
The conical hill of clay and Blue Lias rises from the Somerset Levels. It was formed when surrounding softer deposits were eroded, leaving the hard cap of sandstone exposed. The slopes of the hill are terraced, but the method by which they were formed remains unexplained. Artefacts from human visitation have been found, dating from the Iron Age to Roman eras.

Our native bluebell, Hyacinthoides non-scripta, otherwise named common bluebells, English bluebells, British bluebells, wood bells, fairy flowers and wild hyacinth, is an early flowering plant that naturally occurs in the UK. It appears in ancient woodlands and along woodland edges in April and May. Millions of bulbs can exist in just one wood, giving rise to the violet-blue ‘carpets' that are such a springtime joy to walk through. This early flowering allows them to make the most of the sunlight that is still able to make it to the forest floor habitat, before the canopy becomes too thick. Native bluebells are protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.
The Spanish bluebell, Hyacinthoides hispanica, was introduced into the UK by the Victorians as a garden plant, but escaped into the wild – it was first noted as growing ‘over the garden wall’ in 1909. It is likely that this escape occurred from both the carefree disposal of bulbs and pollination. Today, the Spanish bluebell can be found alongside our native bluebell in woodlands and along woodland edges, as well as on roadsides and in gardens.
Native bluebells have:
narrow leaves, about 1-1.5cm wide
deep violet-blue (sometimes white), narrow, tubular-bell flowers, with tips that curl back
flowers on one side of the stem
distinctly drooping stems
a sweet scent
cream-coloured pollen inside
Spanish bluebells have:
broad leaves, about 3cm wide
pale blue (often white or pink), conical-bell flowers, with spreading and open tips
flowers all around the stem
upright stems
no scent
blue- or pale green-coloured pollen inside
The UK's woodlands are home to almost 50% of the world's population of the bluebell. But this much-loved plant is under threat. The Spanish bluebell is more vigorous than our native bluebell, so can outcompete it for resources like light and space. It can hybridise with our native, too, producing fertile plants that show a whole range of mixed features from both species. Over time, this hybridisation changes the genetic makeup of our native species, diluting its characteristics, weakening it and potentially evolving it into something else.
Introduced species can become naturalised in the UK without much cause for concern. However, as with the Spanish bluebell, their effects are not always so benign, so be careful if you prefer non-native varieties in your planting as species can easily escape – it’s best to dispose of cuttings or bulbs carefully and never plant anything in the wild.
If you fancy planting bluebells in a shady part of your garden, try to pick the native variety. Not only will you help to prevent the spread of invasive, non-native species into the wider countryside, but you will also provide food and shelter for a range of our native insects, from bees to butterflies.
As a Conservationist and former Countryside Officer, I feel this is vitally important.
The greenfinches are small passerine birds in the genus Chloris in the subfamily Carduelinae within the Fringillidae. The species have a Eurasian distribution except for the European greenfinch, which also occurs in North Africa.
These finches all have large conical bills and yellow patches on the wing feathers.
The greenfinches were formerly placed in the genus Carduelis. Molecular phylogenetic studies showed that the greenfinches form a monophyletic group that is not closely related to the species in Carduelis and instead is sister to a clade containing the desert finch (Rhodospiza obsoleta) and the Socotra golden-winged grosbeak (Rhynchostruthus socotranus).[1] The greenfinches were therefore moved to the resurrected genus Chloris which had originally been introduced by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1800 with the European greenfinch as the type species.[2][3] The name is from Ancient Greek khloris, the European greenfinch, from khloros, "green".

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!
Harlow E. Bundy House, also known as the Bundy Museum of History and Art, is a historic home located at Binghamton, Broome County, New York. It was built in 1893, and is a 2 1/2-story, irregularly massed, Queen Anne style frame dwelling. It features cut stone veneer, a variety of decorative shingles, and a tall conical corner tower. It was built by Binghamton businessman Harlow Bundy (1856-1914), who owned the Bundy Manufacturing Company, a predecessor of IBM.
