If in doubt, contact me!
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 wasn't planning to photograph Ardnakinna. We were in the Irish Lights helicopter, heading back to Castletownbere after a visit to the Fastnet, and as we came around the southern tip of Bere Island the whole scene just opened up below me. The lighthouse sitting out on its rocky headland, Bere Haven harbour to the left, the Beara mountains rolling away into the distance. I couldn't resist.
The colours were remarkable. Deep blues in the rougher water further out, shifting to greens closer to shore where the depth changes over the rocks, then warm oranges and browns on the headland itself. The lighthouse, bright white against all of it, with surf breaking hard against the cliffs below. Late afternoon light was pushing through gaps in the cloud and catching the distant mountains, giving them that soft golden glow you get on the Beara Peninsula when conditions are right.
What I love is the contrast. The Atlantic hits that headland full force, the rock dark and jagged where the sea has been working at it for centuries. Yet right around the corner there's a sheltered bay, calm water, a few houses. Two completely different worlds separated by a few hundred metres of rock.
Sometimes the best photographs are the ones you don't plan for. You just have to be ready when they appear!

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!
