I made this from an Irish Lights helicopter in 2013, during a storm damage survey along the western coast. We were working our way down through Connemara, and Slyne Head was one of the scheduled stops. The pilot held position while engineers assessed structural damage, and I worked fast from an open door. You don't get to ask for a second pass very often!

What strikes me is how violent the sea looks here. Waves piling into those dark jagged rocks with real force, white water visible from hundreds of feet up. And yet by the standards of what this station endures during a proper winter storm, this was a relatively calm day. An ordinary Tuesday for the lighthouse.

The twin towers sit on the only piece of ground with any vegetation. A small patch of green surrounded by a long chain of reef that barely breaks the surface in places. You can see immediately why this was such a critical navigational point. Ships approaching from the west would have had very little warning before they were on top of those rocks. The lighthouse has been saving lives here since 1836.

The overcast light suited the mood. The mountains of Connemara are just visible through the haze, but the real subject is those small white buildings and the ocean that surrounds them. Everything about Slyne Head speaks of exposure and endurance, and from this angle, a perspective very few people will ever have, I think that comes through.

We produce all our prints to order, so you can be sure you're getting the best quality work to hang on your wall. As a result, in busy times it can take a while to process the orders. In the worst case, which is generally during the peak months of July-September, it can take 4-6 weeks to receive large framed prints. Large canvases generally take 2-3 weeks. Unframed prints are generally also 2-3 weeks at worst.

We aim to get prints out as quickly as possible, so we would expect and hope that you would receive them earlier than the above timeframes. If you have a particular need to get a print quickly, please let us know in the order notes and we'll prioritize it for you, or you can email us at info@petercox.ie.

Prints are well-packaged and in the unlikely event that it arrives damaged, we'll send a replacement free of charge. 

When your order ships, you'll receive an email with your tracking number.

Thanks for your trust, and we hope you get many years of enjoyment from your new print!

Saw this 7 years ago in Killarney in the gallery and should have bought it then. Bought it online this spring, and arrived quickly, with great communication! Has been framed, hung, and is being enjoyed! Even the framer said it was an AMAZING photograph!

This picture is magnificent in that it captures the essence of the Little Skellig Island. Every time I look at it over my sofa, I remember feeling grateful for traveling to Ireland and experiencing the way your photography mesmerized me.

I ordered Peter Cox's stunning photo of Small Skellig which now sits in my main foyer at home. I get as much enjoyment from looking at it every time I come home as I do explaining its origins to guests who remark and ask about it when they arrive!
