The finest lighthouse on the Irish coast, the Fastnet stands proud on an unusually calm fine Summer's evening.
A granite tower constructed of interlocking blocks, it's a virtual monolith which presents itself like the bow of a ship to the incoming Atlantic swells, dissipating their energy before they reach peak force.
So effective is the design and construction that it has survived the worst the Atlantic can throw at it for over a century with nary a scratch. In 1985, it was struck by a 48m rogue wave (the same height as the focal plane of the lantern). This stove in the glass of the lantern room and overturned the vat of mercury on which the lantern turns, but the structure took no other damage.
Purchased as a present for someone, communication with the gallery was excellent and they helped make sure I received it in plenty of time. The print itself is gorgeous too, and was very well received!

Another masterpiece.
The photo is brilliant as I expected but the service far exceeded my expectations. I purchased the photo as a gift & it was delivered with love - both the receiver & I were blown away. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Inch Beach is beloved of anyone who's holidayed there - and indeed many families return year after year.
I've long wanted a photograph of it, but it had always eluded me until this one. I chose an elevated viewpoint so you can see the shape of the beach itself and the matching shapes of the waves as they advance in from Dingle Bay.
In a large print, you can see individual surfers in the water, as well as people enjoying their time on the beach on this early Spring day.
I purchased the gallery sized frame photo of Inch Beach from Peter as an engagement present for my niece and her fiancé as they had gotten engaged there. They were over the moon. It is a beautifully framed photograph and the service I received was second to none.

The Old Head of Kinsale is home to one of the world's most spectacular golf courses. Covering the end of the peninsula itself, bounded by cliffs on all sides with only a narrow isthmus connecting it to the rest of the peninsula, it's a strange mixture of wilderness and manicured beauty.
There has been a lighthouse at the Old Head since 1665. The original building is still present and was a cottage type with an open fire on its roof. The current 40-foot tower was built in 1853.
This photograph was made near sunset on a late summer's evening. The view is to the north with the golf course and lighthouse in the foreground and Kinsale town on the main coast to the right of frame. The low angle of the sun creates dramatic shadows which show the beautiful sculpting of the golf course very clearly.
Made with an ultra-high resolution digital sensor, in a large print golfers can be clearly seen on the course.
Not sure if I will, but I hope to return to Ireland someday. If I do, near the top of my list is another trip to Peter's gallery in Killarney. I stopped by 3 or 4 times during my visit and just couldn't get enough. He never tired of me walking around, asking questions, and not buying a thing. His work is absolutely spectacular.
A couple of months after returning to the USA I visited his website (again) and purchased a framed version of The Old Head of Kinsale. The picture of this photograph on the website does not do justice to its quality. The detail in the photo is just stunning.
The order process went smooth, and the packaging/delivery process could not have been better.
If you can get to Peter's studio, go. If you can't, go online and keep in mind the pictures there understate the true character of the photo itself.
Buy some of his work and enjoy.

Glimpse of Ireland’s rugged beauty
This is always a fresh and compelling reminder of Ireland’s rugged beauty every time I walk past this print. It also reminds me of the amazing time we had while there on a golf trip we took with a friend for his 60th birthday.
Also, very much appreciated the care taken when shipping to the US and the customer service related to that. Visiting the gallery in person is an experience as well!

Skellig Michael (Sceilig Mhichíl) is one of the jewels of Ireland's landscape and heritage. Seen here from a helicopter, the Small Skellig and Lemon Rock are also visible. Puffin Island, Valentia and Portmagee are all visible in the distance.
A double-pyramid of rock soaring up from the surface of the Atlantic, it houses two lighthouses (one decommissioned), a 6th century monastery and a hermitage from the same era.
The photos are stunning and a great credit to Peter Cox.

The skellig
I purchased a gift for my friends special birthday, i wanted the skellig in all of its glory, , wrapped, and delivered on a specific date, a big ask, and it was all executed to perfection, the service and attention to detail was amazing, will certainly will be calling to the Killarney studio again.

The Fastnet is certainly Ireland’s finest lighthouse. Difficult to land on, and all but impossible to step from a boat for most of the year, this aerial view shows the typical angry sea that surrounds it.
Cape Clear Island is visible on the horizon, the closest point of land to the rock, often called the ‘Teardrop of Ireland’ as it was the last thing emigrants saw of their home country when sailing to America and Australia.
We got our large framed print of the fastnet after seeing it on holiday in Kerry. It is the centrepiece of our kitchen living area and lots of visitors comment on the what a great picture it is.

This is an iconic location, the view down the slip road to the harbour at Dunquin (Dún Chaoin), at the tip of the Dingle peninsula. From here you can catch the boat to the Blasket Islands.
Made on a stormy afternoon using a long exposure, the waves have turned to mist, swirling around the rocks just offshore.

The Conor Pass is the highest mountain pass in Ireland and offers the most dramatic way to enter the western part of the Dingle peninsula.
On the eastern side, an incredible narrow and winding road clings to the cliff face making it interesting for the unwary when meeting traffic coming the other way!
Once at the top of the pass, the views are quite literally breathtaking. This image was made as the sun was rising on a Summer's morning. Brandon Mountain (Cnoc Bréanainn) shows off its rugged eastern face across the Owenmore (An Abha Mhór) valley. The lakes visible are, from left to right, An Loch Geal, Loch Uí Fiannachta and Loch Neil Phádraig. Loch Cruite is just visible nestling at the base of the mountain. Brandon Bay can be seen in the right of frame in the distance.
It's from Brandon Creek on the western side of the mountain that St. Brendan is said to have begun his legendary voyage to America around the year 512 AD.
I absolutely love this photograph. Words just don’t do it justice. I wish I had one of every item on your website.

Inis Meáin (Inishmaan) is the middle of the three Aran Islands which are strung across the mouth of Galway Bay.
This image was made at Poll an tSéideáin (Hole of the Blowing Spray) on the island's west coast. Oileán na Tuí (Straw Island) is visible on the horizon to the left of frame.
Poll an tSéideáin is so named because there is long but shallow cave at sea level that causes the sea to react dramatically in a swell, sending up massive curtains of spray. On this particular evening there was a five meter swell running with a fresh wind, resulting in some truly impressive seas.
The cliffs here are about 30 meters high at this point yet the spray from the incoming waves are easily reaching their tops.

I purchased this as a gift for my cousin, her Mother is a native of the island and therefore the place holds a very special place in her heart and now in her home too! The service was swift and smooth, thank you!

Slea Head is by far the most iconic of Dingle locations. On the very fringes of our island, it's an incredibly rugged and wild place. Even the roads have difficulty here - a section of the nearby Slea Head drive slipped into the sea some years ago. The new section is a little further inland now!
This image was made shortly after sunset on a stormy December day. The clouds, which had been stubbornly persistent on the horizon, cleared for a few seconds to give a glimpse of the glorious colours behind them, before closing again just as quickly.
From left to right, the islands visible are, Inishvickallaun, Inishnabro and the Great Blasket.

This image was made about an hour after sunset. The last vestiges of colour are visible in the sky over the horizon, but the cool blue of night pervades the scene.
The causeway stretches out ahead with the foreground hexagons wet from spray. The thirty second exposure has left the waves a blur.
