The photograph

Letters from the Landscape

I made this in 2008, on a filthy afternoon right at the tip of the Dingle peninsula. The kind of day where the wind is directly in your face and you're questioning your life choices. It's one of the oldest images in my collection, and still one of my favourites.

Everyone knows that zigzagging slip road dropping down the cliff to the harbour where the boats leave for the Blaskets. Dramatic from any angle. But I wanted the full sweep of that curve in a single composition, so I set up on the cliff edge and spent a while positioning everything carefully, making sure no foreground rock or grass interrupted the line as it wound downward.

It was blowing a gale. The two great pyramidal sea stacks offshore were taking the full force of the Atlantic. I used a long exposure to turn all that violence into something quieter, the sea rendered as mist swirling around their base. And if you look carefully at the very top of those stacks, there are seagulls clinging on up there. They'd found the one spot where they could sit without being blown into next week.

The long exposure did something interesting with the foreground grass too. Where it was sheltered, in the lee of the slope, it's sharp. Where it was getting battered, it's gone soft with motion blur. You can actually read the wind in this image. Seventeen years later and it remains one of the photographs I'm most pleased with!

    Every print is signed. Unframed and framed prints are signed and titled by hand on the white border beneath the photograph.

  • Archival

    Archival inks on museum-grade materials. Unframed and framed prints are Giclée prints on cotton rag paper.

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.
