The photograph

Letters from the Landscape

I think this might be my favourite photograph. After all these years and all these places, that's a big call. But every time I come back to it, I feel the same way I did standing there.

Coumeenoole is a remarkable beach. You drop down a narrow road off the Slea Head drive, cliffs closing in on either side, and suddenly you're on this small crescent of sand with the Atlantic ahead and the land falling away behind you. I've been here when the swell was at head height and I couldn't get near the waterline. I've been here when I had to brace the tripod with my body weight. Neither trip produced anything worth keeping.

This evening was different. Calm. Almost suspiciously calm for this coast. I set up a long exposure and let the sea go smooth and milky around the moss-covered boulder in the foreground. Deep greens against pale sand, no rough water competing for attention. Heavy cloud diffused the light perfectly. The wet sand picked up a pink tone, and the water held these pale blues and greens I find endlessly appealing. The Blaskets were barely distinguishable from the cloud sitting on them.

I'd been shooting for forty minutes before I realised I hadn't checked a single frame on the back of the camera. That's usually a good sign. The dramatic evenings here make for exciting pictures, but this quiet one turned out to be the one I wanted on my own wall!

Before you buy

When will it arrive?

You'll get an email with tracking as soon as it ships. If it's for a date, a birthday, an anniversary or a new home, add a note at checkout or email me at info@petercox.ie. I'll do my best to prioritise it and give you a realistic timeline.

What does shipping cost?

I ship worldwide, and every print from Exhibition size up goes free to Ireland, the UK and Europe. Studio prints and books carry a small charge, and the cost for the size you've chosen is shown under the Add to Cart button. The full table is on our Shipping page, and you'll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay. Every parcel is tracked and insured. Within the EU there's no customs duty; outside it, any import duty or tax is the buyer's to pay.

Does the size include the frame?

Yes. A framed size is the whole frame, edge to edge: 3 inches bigger each way than the print inside it. An unframed size is the sheet of paper, including the white border where I sign and title each print by hand. Canvas and Floating Panel sizes are the face of the piece.
