on your wall
Carrigaphooca Castle, 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.
Fifteen minutes from home. I must have driven past Carrigaphooca hundreds of times over the years, always telling myself I'd stop. You know how it is with places on your own doorstep. They're permanently available, so you never quite get around to it.
This particular winter's morning, the low sun caught the east-facing wall of the tower and I had that familiar argument with myself. Stop now or it'll be another ten years. So I pulled the car in. The frost was heavy on the ground, that crisp white coating you only get on still, clear mornings. The light was raking across the stonework from the south-east, picking out every joint and fracture in what remains of the battlements. A 15th century tower house on the banks of the Sullane River, its name translates as The Castle of the Fairy Rock. Ghost hunters visit it regularly. Whatever spirits were present that morning, they were in generous form and let me have the light.
What I really enjoy about this image is the wooden post-and-rail fence curving through the midground like the bow of a ship. I didn't plan it. Just set up the tripod and realised it was there, pulling the eye straight up toward the tower. A good reminder that the photographs closest to home are often the ones you have to force yourself to make!

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!
