Ross Island, Killarney, Co. Kerry
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.
A friend's helicopter, 2008. I'd been doing some work with the crew, and afterwards the pilot offered to take me up for a fly around. You don't say no to that.
We came in over Lough Leane and the whole sweep of it opened up below us. Ross Island and Innisfallen sitting dark in the water, heavy with oak and yew, the Muckross Peninsula stretching off to the south. Killarney town beyond, then the hills rolling back into Kerry in layers. Big clouds were building on the horizon but hadn't broken yet, so the light stayed flat and soft. Direct sun would have blown out the water or lost the detail in the forest canopy. Instead, every island read clearly against the dark surface of the lake. You could trace individual trees, pick out the old abbey ruin on Innisfallen, see Ross Castle at the water's edge.
What strikes me about this photograph, even now, is the sheer density of woodland on those islands. Largely untouched for centuries. Innisfallen was a centre of learning for over a thousand years, and the trees there predate most of what you can see of the town behind them. A ground-level image simply can't convey that.
I was working fast, framing through the open door with the wind pulling at everything. I'm glad I got this one!

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!
