Letters from the Landscape

The sun was losing its argument with the cloud layer when I made this. Just after sunrise at Ross Bay, a thin band of warm light along the horizon pushing against all that grey, and mostly failing. But that struggle gave the morning its character.

From above, the headland reads almost like a map of itself. The rocky promontory pushing out into the Atlantic, waves working both sides of it, green fields sitting calmly on top as if the ocean beneath them were someone else's problem entirely. The Bridges of Ross are just visible along the coastline here, those remarkable sea arches the Atlantic has been carving for thousands of years. You can see the energy in the swell even from this height, all those patterns and white lines of force pressing against the rock.

No fiery reds. No golden hour perfection. Just a quiet persistence from the sun that matched my own that morning. The texture in that sky, the depth and movement in the cloud layer even without colour. These are the things that make a photograph worth returning to. County Clare's coastline almost never gives you what you expect, which turns out to be a good thing!

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.

Framed Black wood frame, glazed with acrylic so it travels safely, with a mount on Exhibition and Feature sizes. Ready to hang.
