on your wall
Bray Head, Valentia, 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 first visited Valentia Island in 2009 and I've been going back ever since. Some places just get their hooks into you.
This photograph looks west towards Bray Head, the imposing headland that marks the western tip of the island. The Skelligs were out on the horizon behind me, but on this particular evening my attention was entirely on what was in front of me. The sun was dropping fast, throwing warm amber light across the cliff faces while the surf hammered against the base of the rock. That sea arch at the bottom takes a serious beating on evenings like this.
What I love about this vantage point is the contrast you can take in from a single frame. Down below, the ocean is violent. White water surging through the arch, waves breaking hard against rock that has taken this punishment for thousands of years. Then you look to the top right and there's the Sound, barely a ripple on it. Sheltered, quiet, a completely different sea. I waited an hour and a half up on the hill above the head, half frozen, trying to eat a sandwich the wind kept rearranging. When the sun finally dropped low enough to rake across those cliff faces, everything changed in about three minutes. The green on top went bright, the rock turned gold, and the white water lit up against the dark Atlantic behind it. Three minutes. Worth every second of the wait!

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!
