Letters from the Landscape

I nearly didn't stop. I'd been driving back to Killarney after a day shooting further west, and November evenings don't give you much time to second-guess. But the sky over the Gap was turning pink and I could see the lake from the road. Dead flat. No ripple at all. So I pulled in, grabbed the tripod, and half-jogged down to the water's edge like a man who'd forgotten something important.

The Gap of Dunloe is perhaps the most iconic valley in Kerry. Steep glacial sides, a narrow road winding through, and these small lakes sitting in the valley floor. I've photographed it dozens of times and most of those photographs are mediocre. The light was wrong, or the wind was up, or I'd composed it badly. This evening, though, I could tell before I'd even opened the tripod legs.

The water had gone to perfect glass. Every ridge, every brown slope of heather and dead grass, doubled in the reflection so precisely that the valley seemed to extend downward as much as upward. Lavender cloud building to the west, pink underneath where the sun had dropped below the ridge, the rest of the sky holding that clean late-autumn blue you get when the air is cold and dry. I had to go panoramic. A standard frame just clips this valley at both edges and you lose the sense of how wide the glacial carving actually is. Several exposures, left to right, working quickly because colour like that doesn't wait around for you.

Every time I come back here, it holds up!

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.
