Not sure what kind of conifer this is, but it was abundant on the mountainsides above Tapovan (beyond Joshimath), where it formed an open, mixed forest with rhododendrons.All content © 2009 Pete McGregor

Maybe Pinus wallichiana?
Andrew, that was one of the main contenders until close inspection of the photo suggested the scales lack an umbo, meaning it's not a pine. Unfortunately this is the only close-up photo I have. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go back there and suss it out :^)
very good close-up. nice green and brown, they go well together with the blueish gray fuzzy background. the focusing works brilliantly. i bet these cones burn well on fire :D great shot
Cheers D.V.A. Carrying a 300mm lens around with me for over 7 months was quite a commitment, but it helped me photograph things like this. And yes, those cones would be brilliant kindling ;^P
