Letters from the Landscape

Bishop's Rock. That blunt, detached sea stack sitting out there on its own, taking everything the Atlantic sends at it. I'd been putting Kilkee off for months, maybe longer, concentrating on the bigger cliff systems further north. Moher, Croaghaun. That was a mistake.

The cliffs south of the town aren't especially high. They don't shout. But from altitude you realise they just go on forever, layer after layer of fractured rock shelving into the ocean, every ledge carved out by thousands of years of heavy water. Late afternoon sun was dropping toward the horizon and throwing warm side-light across every fold and fracture in the stone. It gives the farmland along the clifftops that deep golden colour, picks out the flat-topped rock formation to the left. Without that angle the whole scene would flatten out and lose its depth.

The swell was moderate. Enough white water around the base of Bishop's Rock to give it energy, not so much that the shape disappeared in spray. Soft pinks and blues filtering through broken cloud on the horizon. Not dramatic. Gentle and warm. That suited Kilkee perfectly.

This was one of the final images in the Atlantic Light project. A reminder that the most remarkable stretches of coast aren't always the ones that shout loudest!

Before you buy

When will it arrive?

You'll get an email with tracking as soon as it ships. If it's for a date, a birthday, an anniversary or a new home, add a note at checkout or email me at info@petercox.ie. I'll do my best to prioritise it and give you a realistic timeline.

What does shipping cost?

I ship worldwide, and every print from Exhibition size up goes free to Ireland, the UK and Europe. Studio prints and books carry a small charge, and the cost for the size you've chosen is shown under the Add to Cart button. The full table is on our Shipping page, and you'll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay. Every parcel is tracked and insured. Within the EU there's no customs duty; outside it, any import duty or tax is the buyer's to pay.

Does the size include the frame?

Yes. A framed size is the whole frame, edge to edge: 3 inches bigger each way than the print inside it. An unframed size is the sheet of paper, including the white border where I sign and title each print by hand. Canvas and Floating Panel sizes are the face of the piece.
