We have stumbled upon this amazing project called Geograph Bristish Isles whose aim is
The Geograph British Isles project aims to collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometre of the UK and Eire, and you can be part of it.
Of course, Brontë-related places abound both in square kilometres and in pictures on this site. We suggest you take a look around because the landscapes - whether Brontë-related or not - are wonderful.

Here's two of the latest additions, although the pictures actually date back to 1990: the Parsonage and the churchyard. But as you can see a simple search for Bronte as key word yields three full pages of results, including the Brontë waterfall, the Brontë way, the (awful) statue of the three sisters in the Parsonage, the Brontë birthplace in Thornton or Anne's tombstone in Scarborough among others. And there are many Brontë-related places which won't have Brontë as the key word - just imagine the possibilities!
