Letters from the Landscape

November in the Gap of Dunloe. No coaches, no jaunting cars, no one. Just an empty road and a lake so still it was hard to tell where the water ended and the sky began.

I have two versions of this photograph. A panoramic, and this full-frame composition. I prefer this one. There's a rock in the bottom left that anchors everything, gives your eye somewhere to start before it travels across the water and up into the valley. When you get a mirror like this, the foreground does double duty. The sky is already up there doing its thing. Let the water carry it.

The sun was well behind the MacGillycuddy's Reeks by the time I made this. That post-sunset window where the colour actually intensifies rather than fades. The clouds had broken just enough to let pink light flood in across the tops, and the lake held every bit of it. The reflection was almost sharper than the sky itself, the way it can be when the surface is absolutely calm and the tones deepen slightly in the water.

The Gap is a glacial pass between the Reeks and Purple Mountain, and on a quiet November evening it feels properly old. The valley funnels everything inward. Sound, light, your attention. I stood there for twenty minutes after making this frame, not photographing, just watching the colour shift through its last stages. The kind of evening that rewards you for showing up in the off-season, when nobody else is around and the landscape gives you something it keeps hidden the rest of the year!

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.
