Gougane Barra Reflections, 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.
Gougane Barra is my back garden. I can walk there from my house in Ballingeary, and I've spent more mornings than I can count standing at the edge of that lake with a camera. Most of them end with nothing worth keeping. This one was different.
The water had gone completely flat. Not a breath of wind. The reflection was so clean it was genuinely difficult to tell where the hillside ended and the lake began. A thin band of mist sat just above the surface, maybe a metre high, catching the early sun as it crept over the right side of the valley. Warm light picking out rock and heather on the slopes. The left bank, with its stand of conifers, still held in cool shadow. Everything balanced.
The problem, as always on a still summer morning here, was the midges. Thousands of them. They descend in clouds the moment you stop moving, and standing quietly behind a tripod is exactly the kind of behaviour they reward with enthusiasm. I must have looked ridiculous, waving one hand around my face while trying to hold steady for long exposures.
Twenty minutes. That's roughly how long the conditions held before the first breath of wind broke the surface. I walked home for breakfast covered in midge bites, and it felt entirely worth it!
Shipping is free once your order passes a threshold that depends on where it's going:

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!
