A great limestone scarp runs the breadth of Somerset, the Mendip Hills, famous for their karst landscape — the gorge at Cheddar and the caves at Wookey Hole.

Cotch: Helmsdale Harbour

Joe — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 20:55:42 +0000

In the winter, while I neglected to post on the blog, I spent some time out of the way to concentrate on work. Helmsdale in Sutherland was about as out of the way as I could find.

Cotch: Los Lagos

This time last year, I was cycling around the lake district, Los Lagos, in Chilean Patagonia. I was there with Computer Aid International, who refurbish old office computers and send them to schools, hospitals, and development projects around the world, including the small city of Osorno in Los Lagos. Below are a selection of out-of-context and out-of-order extracts and photographs from my record of the week. All profits from sales of Chile prints go to Computer Aid.

Cotch: Arno’s Vale Cemetery

Over at cotch dot net, I’ve thrown together a quick photo essay on the Victorian park cemetery at Arno’s Vale in Bristol, which until recently was rather derelict and overgrown. You can read the while post at Arno’s Vale Cemetery.

Cotch: Grant Museum to close

Joe — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:07:08 +0000

Matt Brown reports that the awesome Grant Museum of Zoology is to close on July 1st. The Grant Museum is a hidden gem. It’s tiny, and shoved away somewhere deep within the labyrinths of UCL, between Totenham Court Road and Gower Street, near Goodge St tube. There are no signs. You might need a guide to find it.

Cotch: Moel-y-gest

Joe — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 15:44:30 +0000

This past week, I’ve used a week off to prepare enough blog posts to keep me going through the weeks when I don’t have time to write, and also to prepare for getting a serious hardcore science blog going again. I’ve been writing from a barn on the side of a small Welsh mountain — a mountain celebrated in this week’s mini-photo essay, here on cotch dot net.

Cotch: Happy birthday, Millennium Bridge

Joe — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 13:26:17 +0000

Today is the tenth birthday of London’s Millennium Bridge, a much loved modern Thames crossing, and a symbol of London’s improving centre and riverside environments. Find out more about the structure in this celebratory photo essay at cotch dot net.

Cotch: This is Cincinnati

Joe — Mon, 31 May 2010 22:40:17 +0000

It is reassuring to know that a City can not sue me for libel, even under English law, because I said some not very nice things about the nasty, brutish and racist city of Cincinnati today. It’s OK though — I have the pictures to back those words up. Read it all on cotch dot net.

Cotch: 15 May, 2004

Joe — Sun, 30 May 2010 13:50:43 +0000

A short early-morning photo-walk around Bristol’s Floating Harbour — an account of how I first came to be spending my time taking photographs — is available to read at cotch dot net.

Cotch: Landslide victory

Joe — Thu, 13 May 2010 15:08:09 +0000

This time not about elections but about geology: the great shifting slopes of Mam Tor in the Derbyshire Peak District; a desolate scene of man’s abandoned attempt to tame the difficult landscape. Read it at cotch dot net.
