 The Castle Cement works in Ketton, Rutland, UK. The title comes from its local nickname.

I wonder how many comments I get saying "It's not a Cathedral" lol. About as many pointing out there's no smoke coming from the chimneys. Or that it's not quite straight - (wide angle lens distortion that I can't correct in basic).

To be fair time and weather haven't been permitting this week. We went round lots of factories and the only one we found with smoking chimneys was the brick factory that I've done to death in these challenge shots:

Cropping closer to the subject would have made a more interseting picture, too much background.

The clouds make for a wonderful background. The focus is quite nice.

A little too HDR-ish look. tonal range is too compressed for my taste.
