It was a long fast walk across the moors up to Top Withens, where Emily Brontë set Wuthering Heights. I thought no one would join me, gave the students plenty of outs. 5 came anyway. 1 said, "We want to see why you care so much.” I’ll remember that. 📷📸✒️📓🧭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #topwithens #haworth #photography #clarity
