Letters from the Landscape

The red roof is what made me stop the car. I was driving through the Burren, and that splash of rusting zinc against all the grey limestone and green fields caught my eye. I put the drone up, not very high. Maybe fifty or sixty feet. That was enough.

From the road, it was a nice enough scene. From that slight elevation, the whole landscape opened up. The dry stone walls became leading lines, converging across the fields toward an enormous dark squall building on the horizon. The cottage sat right in the centre of it all, perfectly placed. And there, at the base of the storm, a fragment of rainbow. Just a piece of one, barely there, but enough.

I was lucky to get the drone back before the rain hit. I could see it striking the ground maybe a mile away, moving fast. No trees out here, nothing to slow the weather down. Within two minutes of landing, it was absolutely pelting!

Those abandoned cottages scattered across the limestone tell you so much about how people lived here, farming thin soils inside hand-built walls. The walls are still standing. The roof is holding on, for now. I'm delighted I stopped the car that day, because this has become one of my favourite images from the whole Atlantic Light collection.

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.
