Letters from the Landscape

I nearly drove past it. I'd been shooting around Ardara all morning, heading for Glencolumbkille, when the clouds broke apart halfway up the pass and sent hard shafts of sunlight across the valley. Every fold in the hillside suddenly had its own shadow. I pulled in and didn't get back in the car for the better part of an hour.

Glengesh Pass is a glacial valley, smooth rounded hills on both sides with grass right to the tops, funnelling down to a broad plain in the distance. On a flat overcast day it would be pleasant enough. But with cumulus moving fast from the west, the whole landscape was being reshaped every thirty seconds. Shadows crossing one slope, sliding off, hitting the moorland on the other side. You could actually see the contour lines.

I converted to black and white almost immediately. The colour was fine but it was competing with what actually interested me, which was the tonal range those cloud shadows were creating. Without the green, every highlight and dark fold on those hillsides became the photograph. The panoramic format was the only option. Both slopes, the textured foreground grass, that long channel of space narrowing toward the horizon.

Donegal has a way of rewarding persistence, and the wind up there was bitter enough to test it properly!

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.
