on your wall
Glengesh Pass, Co. Donegal
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.
Every cloud up there has its own agenda. I've driven Glengesh probably a dozen times over the years, connecting Ardara and Glencolmcille through open moorland, and I still can't get through it without pulling over. The sky won't let you.
This particular afternoon, big cumulus were running fast on a westerly, each one throwing its shadow across the valley floor. Constantly moving, constantly reshaping the light. I'd frame a composition and watch the tonal balance change completely before I could fire the shutter. Three consecutive frames where a shadow landed squarely across the one section I needed lit. The wind was absolutely working against me.
Black and white was the only option. Stripping the colour out lets you see what the light is actually doing. Bright grass against deep shadow, texture in the cloud faces, that tonal gradient running down towards Glencolmcille. The hills here aren't sharp or jagged. They're round and worn. But the space between them is enormous, and the road below is barely a thread.
The pass doesn't get the attention that Slieve League or Horn Head receive, which is probably part of why I keep going back. Fewer people, bigger skies, and that maddening wind pushing the clouds exactly where you don't want them!
Shipping is free once your order passes a threshold that depends on where it's going:

Your exact shipping cost is specific to your location and is shown to you before you finalize checkout.
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!
