Dursey Island & Gannet, Co. Cork
Prints are made to order, so I can't take one back just because you've changed your mind, but if it arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, I'll replace it at no cost. You can swap it within 30 days, though you'd cover the return postage.
I made this from the Bull Rock, about ten kilometres off the tip of the Beara Peninsula. I'd spent a couple of nights out there, camped on this massive rock with a tunnel running clean through it, an abandoned lighthouse on top, and one of Ireland's largest gannet colonies for company. The noise and the smell are extraordinary.
For much of the trip I found myself looking back towards the mainland rather than out to sea. This particular afternoon, heavy dark cloud had been stacking up behind Dursey Island all day. There was a quality to the light that made everything feel weighted and charged. The kind of atmosphere where you know something is coming but it hasn't arrived yet.
From out there you can see the Cow and Calf rocks sitting between you and Dursey, and there's a beautiful symmetry to the way they anchor the lower half of the frame while the sky does all the work above. A single gannet flew through the scene just as I released the shutter. Perfect timing. In a large print, you can actually make out the broken lighthouse on the Calf rock, which adds another layer to it.
Dursey itself is reached only by cable car. From the Bull, it looks like the edge of the known world. And yet it was the closest thing to civilisation I had!
Shipping is free once your order passes a threshold that depends on where it's going:
- Ireland: free over €75, otherwise €9
- UK and Europe: free over €150, otherwise €20

- Rest of the world: a flat €100, whatever the order value
Your exact shipping cost is specific to your location and is shown to you before you finalize checkout.
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!
