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.
A drone at dawn over a quiet residential area is not a subtle thing. I'm still grateful nobody came out to investigate.
Getting to Ardnakinna meant finding a launch point on the mainland as close to the lighthouse as possible. I ended up parked in a housing estate on the Beara Peninsula, fancy houses dark and silent before sunrise, the lighthouse itself hidden behind a line of trees. Pure act of faith getting the drone up and over. Then the treetops cleared and there it was. That white tower with its red lantern room, standing on dark rock with the Atlantic hammering the cliffs below.
The light was coming in low from the east, early gold catching the tower and the ruined keeper's buildings beside it. Rough sea, white water breaking hard across the base of the headland. You can even make out large bags of maintenance materials near the tower, the kind flown in by helicopter. A reminder of how remote these stations really are, even sitting a few hundred metres from the mainland.
Ardnakinna has always been a favourite of mine. A working lighthouse still guiding vessels through Bantry Bay, with real weight of purpose to it. That morning, with sunrise warming everything and the sea doing its worst, felt like seeing it exactly right!

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!
