Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    These are the ruins of the manor house Emily Brontë imagined at the center of Wuthering Heights and these dramatic landscapes provided the poetic backdrop for her story.Just think - Emily Brontë very likely stood in this very spot back in the 1840’s and looked out on a wuthering sky like this as she conceived Heathcliff and Catherine’s love in this beautiful but dramatic place. There would have been out buildings and a garden that would have made it more impressive back then, but then Emily’s imagination made it even more impressive again.  Because her sisters wrote so much more, many people don’t realize that the greatest of the Brontë women wrote only the one book. But what a book and what a location!
