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.

A perfect reminder of my trip to Ireland
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!
Problem, solved
Shopping for a loved one? Finding choice difficult? Get them a gift card, and they can pick the print they love the best.
Absolutely beautiful prints. Love all of Peter's photos. The smaller print sizes are great for gifting and the larger prints for treating yourself to some new wall art. Highly recommend x
I saw this print in his gallery in 2014 never forgot about it. I decided to order a “ready to hang” print and am so happy I did!
It arrived quickly with no damage because it was wrapped so carefully! It’s stunning and I never get tired of looking at it. It brings me back to Ireland every time I see it . The only problem with his gallery is that there are so many gorgeous prints that it’s hard to pick just one. Highly recommend his work and his care of his customers!
Peter Cox is an amazing photographer,conscientious business man and a fine person. Our 60x20 Skelligs Sunset arrived in Oregon,expertly packed, and is hanging in our coast home. Peter's advice on size, framing or not to frame, and canvas type were spot on. We have 3 smaller prints at our home in Bend, which we have enjoyed for many years. His work brings me great joy and wonderful memories of times spent in his very special country.
Really enjoying Irish light. My son in law is a local to Kerry so many of the locations are familiar . Spectacular landscapes and beautiful light. Really well done. Thank you
This is my 5th print purchased from Peter Cox Photography. I've had my eye on it for a while and to commemorate our wedding we decided to treat ourselves. It is stunning, and works so beautifully in our home. I adore these photos and look forward to adding more to my collection in time.
This piece is stunning! My husband and I vacationed to Ireland in July of 2018 and passed this exact piece hanging in the gallery window in Killarney and fell in love. We just built a home and felt this artwork needed to be a part of it.
Photographs of places you love will transport you there every time you see them. It's like a tiny holiday several times a day!
Impressive
Large prints are windows
A really large print can be a significant investment, but you'll love the portal it opens into a fantastic landscape for a lifetime to come.
attention to detail
Each print is carefully inspected to ensure it's perfect before it leaves the gallery.
individually prepared
All prints are produced individually when the order is received.

Amazing!
Saw this 7 years ago in Killarney in the gallery and should have bought it then. Returned last fall, 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. Thank you for showcasing the the wonders of this landscape.

Stunning Small Skellig
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!

Heather in bloom
The flowers are Heather, our oldest daughter was named Heather. This photograph picked us as much as we picked it. Phenomenal photograph of beauty and peacefulness, we purchased the museum size acrylic print - ready to hang. It arrived to our Iowa doorstep in perfect condition and looks amazing above our open stairway. We had the added bonus of meeting Peter during our visit to his Killarney gallery. Terrific human and talented artist. The entire experience turned out to be an unexpected highlight of our Ireland vacation.
