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 .... !!!

Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Iridaceae. It is native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being found in Cape Provinces.Species of the former genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The plants commonly known as 'freesias', with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia species. Some other species are also grown as ornamental plants. They are herbaceous plants which grow from a conical corm 1–2.5 cm diameter, which sends up a tuft of narrow leaves 10–30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10–40 cm tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of flowers with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers. 4066

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.
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.
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.

Thank you all very much for your comments, likes and visit.
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...
If you're interested there's a paragraph here: www.otagocentralrailtrail.co.nz/places/Ngapuna-a19/index....
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.

Rain on Douglas fir tree.
Douglas fir, which has sometimes been called the Douglas tree, Oregon pine, and Douglas spruce, is not actually a true fir, a pine, or a spruce. Indicative of the taxonomic confusion about this tree, the scientific genus name Pseudotsuga means “false hemlock,” alluding to yet another kind of tree somewhat similar to this unique but important tree. Douglas firs are evergreen trees, meaning they keep their needle-like leaves year-round. There are two varieties of this species, coast Douglas fir and Rocky Mountain Douglas fir, which are differentiated by their habitats, growth rates, and physical characteristics.
When Douglas firs grow in dense forests, they self-prune their lower branches so the conical crown starts many stories above the ground. Trees growing in open habitats, especially younger trees, have branches much closer to the ground. Coast Douglas firs are the faster-growing and larger of the two varieties, and they commonly grow up to 250 feet (76 meters) in old-growth forests and can reach five to six feet (1.5 to 1.8 meters) in diameter. Rocky Mountain Douglas firs measure about the same in diameter but only grow up to 160 feet (49 meters).

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!

The conical granite structure was one in a series of lighthouses in Maine designed by architect Alexander Parris. A bell tower and fog bell were added in 1858, as well as a new lantern with a 3rd order Fresnel lens. The bell was replaced by a steam-powered whistle in 1889. The present keeper's house was built in 1892. The station was electrified in 1931 and automated in 1977; around that time, the lantern was removed and the lens was replaced aero-beacon. In 1985, a replica of the lantern was installed, and circa 1995, the aero-beacon was replaced with a VRB-25 lighthouse system.
The station was transferred in 1998 to the College of the Atlantic as part of the Maine Lights program. It is used as an ecology research station, primarily known for its work on finback and humpback whales.
The station is both farther offshore and more exposed than any other lighthouse on the east coast. It sustained serious damage during Hurricane Daisy (1962) and Hurricane Bill (2009). In August 2009, the boathouse was washed away, two walls of the generator building were ripped apart, and all the furniture and equipment on the first floor of the lightkeeper's house were ruined when it flooded almost to the ceiling. The college research station was subsequently closed until August 2010. (Wikipedia)
The oldest operating lighthouse in the Great Lakes established in 1825 and rebuilt in 1829 and 1861, was the first lighthouse on Lake Huron and is the oldest surviving lighthouse in Michigan. It helps keep watch over Lake Huron at the entrance to the St. Clair River. The 86 ft light stands above the lake level in a conical stone tower, overlaid with red brick that has been painted white.

An interesting building in Murphysboro Illinois. The first floor is square like most building however the second floor has a rounded corner. The conical roof gives the building a feeling of something out of the middle ages.

The House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) is a small, highly adaptable songbird native to North America. This adult male displays a vibrant crimson wash across his forehead, throat, and chest that contrasts with his soft, brown-patterned plumage. A tiny fragment of green vegetation clings to his stout, conical bill, which is naturally adapted for cracking seeds and foraging among garden foliage. The rich red pigmentation in his feathers is derived directly from carotenoids in his diet, making the brilliance of his coloration an indicator of overall health and foraging success.
El pinzón mexicano (Haemorhous mexicanus) es un pequeño y muy adaptable pájaro cantor originario de Norteamérica. Este macho adulto muestra un vibrante tono carmesí en la frente, la garganta y el pecho que contrasta con su plumaje marrón y con patrones suaves. Un pequeño fragmento de vegetación verde se adhiere a su pico robusto y cónico, que está naturalmente adaptado para romper semillas y buscar alimento entre el follaje del jardín. La rica pigmentación roja de sus plumas proviene directamente de los carotenoides de su dieta, haciendo que la brillantez de su coloración sea un indicador de su salud general y del éxito en la búsqueda de alimento.
