This showed up on alt.binaries.pictures.scenic last week, and we do not

anyone here recognize this one?

The flower stalk of an Agave

I think you're right, Garrapata. I Googled images for "agave flower
stalk" and came up with many. Many of them did not look similar, being
either close to the ground or primarily vertical in nature, but a few
were remarkably reminiscent of this tree.
