One from my archives....a shot of a young bullock taken with my first digital SLR near the village of Roughlee in Pendle district, North-West England. In the distance is Blacko Tower, a well-known local Victorian "folly". Processed with Nikon Capture NX2 software.

Overlooking the village is Stansfield Tower (a.k.a. Blacko Tower), which was built around 1890. A local grocer, Jonathan Stansfield, built this circular rough stone tower to provide himself with a view over Ribblesdale from the top but the height fell somewhat short. A Bronze Age axe believed to be 3,500 years old was found near the tower in 1952. (Wikipedia) www.ipernity.com/group/england
