Skellig Michael, 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.
Six hundred steps carved into raw rock by monks over a thousand years ago, and you can trace every one of them from this altitude. That's what stopped me when I first saw this angle. I've visited Skellig Michael many times by boat, stood on those steps, felt the wind try to peel me off the cliff. But from the air, the whole island opens up in a way that changes your understanding of the place.
This was made on a clear day with low, directional light raking across the rock faces. Without those shadows, Skellig just looks like a grey lump sitting in the Atlantic. With them, every feature reveals itself. The South Steps running from the lighthouse road to the monastery. Both lighthouses, active and decommissioned. The hermitage perched on the larger peak. All of it clinging to this impossibly steep island twelve kilometres offshore.
What strikes me most is the engineering. These monks didn't just survive out here. They built stairways, terraces, stone buildings that have outlasted most of what we've constructed since. You can see the full scope of that achievement in this single image, laid out with a clarity that sea level simply cannot provide!
I've written a complete guide to Skellig Michael covering the monks who built this place and practical advice on how to visit the island.

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!
