on your wall
Rossbeigh, 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.
I was driving back from Valentia with no particular plan when I glanced across and the whole strand was lit up. Strong midday sun. The kind of light that makes Kerry look tropical for about twenty minutes before the clouds roll back in.
This was supposed to be a scouting run. Throw the drone up, get a sense of the angles, come back at sunrise when the light would be more conventionally "right." That was the plan, anyway. But once I could see what was actually there from above, the plan went out the window.
Rossbeigh is extraordinary from the air. The tombolo stretches into Dingle Bay like a long curved arm, and where the estuary meets the open water the sand shapes are constantly shifting. What struck me most was the colour. Ochre and earth tones of exposed sand against vivid green where the dune grass has taken hold, then pale white beach, then deep Atlantic blue with mountains rising behind. A combination that shouldn't work as well as it does. The estuary side was shallow and calm, almost turquoise where the light hit the sandy bottom. The ocean side darker, heavier. And between them, this narrow ribbon of land holding the two apart.
I took more frames than I'd care to admit. Sometimes the photographs you don't plan for are the ones that stay with you!
Shipping is free once your order passes a threshold that depends on where it's going:
- Ireland: free over €75, otherwise €9
- UK and Europe: free over €150, otherwise €20

- Rest of the world: a flat €100, whatever the order value
Your exact shipping cost is specific to your location and is shown to you before you finalize checkout.
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!
