Glad to see you back Shaun!!

That tower photo is a tough metering problem for any camera. The differences in light between the sky, the sunny side of the tower, and the shaded side of the tower are extreme. There is a lot of sky, so the matrix meter is giving it a lot of weight in its exposure calculation.
I wouldn't be messing with the ISO beyond finding the lowest number that will let me take a photo. High ISO numbers introduce all kinds of noise into the photo. ISO relates to the sensitivity of the light sensor, you need to be experimenting with the amount of light getting to the sensor. In manual mode, I would experiment with aperture and speed settings until I got the best compromise, starting with a small aperture and long time exposure.
