A Stormy Day, An Tiaracht, Co. Kerry
For a living room or above a sofa, Feature or Showcase sizes give the best impact. Unframed prints are perfect if you'd like to choose your own frame.
If in doubt, contact me!
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.
The helipad on An Tiaracht is regarded as the most dangerous civilian helipad in Europe. We weren't landing on it that day. The wind was ferocious, blowing straight up the steep slope, and the pilot made the right call. I wasn't arguing.
I was on a maintenance flight with the Commissioners of Irish Lights when I made this photograph. The plan had been to put down on that tiny platform just visible to the right of the lighthouse buildings. Instead, we circled. And circled again. From the mainland near the Blaskets, all you see of An Tiaracht is a dark pyramid shape on the horizon. The lighthouse is completely hidden on the western side of the rock. You'd never know it was there. That mystery is part of what drew me to this place.
Two jagged peaks of dark rock joined by a narrow saddle, the lighthouse built in 1870 sitting at 275 feet, white water exploding against black cliffs on every side. The light was flat and grey, no golden hour drama, just raw Atlantic storm. Sometimes that diffused light lets the textures speak for themselves. Every walkway, every solar panel, the buildings clinging to that ridge look almost defiant against the ocean.
One of the most dramatic Co. Kerry landscapes I've ever photographed, and one of the least known. Not being able to land was the best thing that happened to me that day!

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!
