on your wall
Dog's Bay, Co. Galway
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.
I knew this beach long before I ever picked up a camera. My cousins had a holiday home nearby, and Dog's Bay was simply where you went swimming as a kid. The water was always freezing. That never stopped us.
Coming back as a photographer and seeing it from above changed everything. The beach is a tombolo, a narrow spit of land with a beach curving on either side, and from ground level you sense that shape but never fully grasp it. From the air, the whole structure reveals itself. Pale sand arcing between two bays, rock darkening towards the headland, the Atlantic shifting from amber near shore to deep blue further out. It looks almost tropical until you remember the water temperature.
I made this panoramic on a calm evening with the sun dropping low and the light gone that deep gold you can't plan for in Connemara. The Twelve Bens were visible in the background, scattered houses dotted the mainland shore, and the machair grassland gave way to rock and white sand against dark ocean. Conditions like this on the west coast are rare. The place can throw four seasons at you in an afternoon.
But this evening was still, warm, and extraordinarily clear. For me, this image carries both the geography and the memory of being eight years old, running across that sand with my cousins, none of us caring about the view!

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!
