The Lord of the Wings - The Spike Tower
As seen from Interlaken airport (LSMI), Switzerland. Interestingly the “tower” is even lit (the FS 2020 mesh generator must really think that this is a building of some sort ;))
Note: overlay of several FS2020 screenshots (custom “Storm” weather at dusk) - and edited for effect

Today I checked out the new scenery in the UK. London totally killed my framerate, so I thought I’d give Scotland a visit
I started in thick clouds and rain. “Yes, England!” - but as is typical for Scotland the clouds quickly dispersed and gave way to this beautiful view of the Glenfinnan viaduct:
The second screenshot is the Loch Coruisk on the Isle of Skye. I have been to this place for real and the low-hanging clouds really add to the ambiance as I have it in memory:
From the southern end the Scavaig River , only a few hundred yards long, discharges into a sea loch, Loch Scavaig.
This makes the Scavaig river one of the shortest rivers in the UK (and in Europe).
