Tracked delivery to Ireland: €10
I first saw the Skelligs on the horizon in my twenties, driving into Dingle with friends, and I have been fairly obsessed with them ever since. This book gathers about ten years of my photographs of Skellig Michael, the Small Skellig and Lemon Rock. It starts out viewing the islands from the shore and gradually gets closer, past the Small Skellig, Ireland's largest gannet colony, to the monastery, its beehive cells and the lighthouses on Skellig Michael. The OPW and the Commissioners of Irish Lights let me stay on the island overnight, so there are photographs of the monastery at sunrise, at sunset and under the stars. A 19th-century map of Skellig Michael runs behind each spread so you can see where every picture was made. Over fifty photographs in a 128-page hardback, 300 x 246mm, published in 2020.
You can also explore the islands through my online guide to Skellig Michael, with articles on the island's history, how to visit, photographing the Skelligs, and the Star Wars connection.
I was blown away by my recent visit to the Skelligs and this book is a fantastic memento of my trip.
I purchased the book, The Skelligs, directly from the Peter Cox website because it was cheaper than any other source- and I wanted to fully support the great photographic work of Peter Cox by dealing with him directly. Since it is unlikely that I will be able to visit the Skelligs this book is the next best alternative and gives an excellent insight to why this island is so special.
It´s a pleasure, page by page, really
Purchased as a gift. Beautiful pictures - looks great on our coffee table. Package arrived quickly. Very pleased.
