The unusual tower at Lancaster services on the M6. Obviously there's a bit of 'sky replacement' going on here.
Obviously just for fun this one. The Lancaster Bomber was taken at the Rhyl Airshow then added to this scene taken at Widdop Reservoir in Calderdale.
Much to learn in Photoshop so worth the practice.
New edit.
The only flying Lancaster Bomber left in the UK, seen here in 2008 over the Lincolnshire village of Hibaldstow. This image is from the days when I would experiment with HDR. This three composite image came out like a painting - a result that I wasn't expecting. I quite liked the result to be honest.

Lancaster's 2 fingered salute to the rest of the world, and the Lake District's most westerly hill. The view from my attic looking out across Morecambe Bay.
Lancaster Castle is a medieval castle in Lancaster in the English county of Lancashire. Its early history is unclear, but may have been founded in the 11th century on the site of a Roman fort overlooking a crossing of the River Lune. In 1164, the Honour of Lancaster, including the castle, came under royal control. In 1322 and 1389 the Scots invaded England, progressing as far as Lancaster and damaging the castle. It was not to see military action again until the English Civil War. The castle was first used as a prison in 1196 although this aspect became more important during the English Civil War. The castle buildings are owned by the British sovereign as Duke of Lancaster, which leases part of the structure to Lancashire County Council who operate a Crown Court in part of the building.
