Spooky Dalden Tower

Replaced the sky of the original Dalden Tower image with a moon. I added some effects to create a spooky atmosphere.

 

Dalden Tower is found in Dalton-le-Dale near Seaham in County Durham.

 

It was built at least as early as 1375, when it passed from the hands of the Escolland family to the Bowes family. Prior to the switch, the Escollands had changed their name to Dalden, hence the name of the structure.

 

For two centuries it remained a popular and well-used residence for the Bowes family, subsequently passing through the hands of the Collingwoods, Millbankes and Londonderrys, but it has been derelict since at least the early 1700s.
