Letters from the Landscape

Three thousand years ago, somebody looked at a hundred-metre cliff dropping into the Atlantic and thought: that's my back wall. Dún Aonghasa has fascinated me since childhood, and that single design decision is the reason. A semicircular fort perched at the very limit of habitable land, using a sheer limestone drop as its final defence.

I got the drone up on a rough evening when the cloud was thick and low but tearing apart to the west. Late sun pushed through in shafts of warm gold, catching the cliff tops and the hundreds of tiny stone-walled fields stretching across the plateau behind the fort. Below, the Atlantic was hammering the base of the rock. From above, you see the full layout clearly: the chevaux-de-frise field of jagged upright stones, the concentric walls, and then that abrupt edge where Inis Mór simply ends.

The light lasted maybe ten minutes before the cloud sealed over again. That warm colour against grey limestone and dark water is what makes this image work for me. Without it, still dramatic. With it, the place looks alive!

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.
