💡 Peter's tip:

For a living room or above a sofa, Feature or Showcase sizes give the best impact. Unframed prints are perfect if you'd like to choose your own frame.

The walk up to Svartifoss from Skaftafell is deceptively steep. By the time you reach the viewing point, you're warm enough that the spray coming off the falls is actually welcome. For about thirty seconds, anyway.

Those basalt columns are extraordinary. They hang above the waterfall like a pipe organ, dark and dripping, each one fractured along clean hexagonal lines. The fallen fragments at the base have piled up over centuries, jagged and moss-covered, the only green in an otherwise black and grey world. Overcast light was exactly what I wanted. No harsh shadows, no blown highlights on the wet rock. Just even, flat illumination across all that dark stone.

I stood there long enough for the cold to properly settle in. The sound of the place stays with you, though. That low, constant roar funnelled by the rock amphitheatre behind the falls!

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!
