on your wall
Benwee Head, Co. Mayo
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.
The road out to Benwee Head narrows until it stops being a road altogether. Then it's just you and open bogland and the Atlantic ahead.
I made this after sunset, looking west towards the headland and the Stags sea stacks beyond. The light had shifted from warm to cool, and the whole scene was settling into deep, layered blues. Sky, water, the distant silhouette. Everything was variations on the same colour, but each surface held it differently. The ocean had this wonderful quality where the swells still carried shape and direction, but the slightly longer exposure softened them just enough to quiet the scene down. That middle ground between frozen motion and complete blur is where I find the most interesting photographs.
Out on the horizon, the Stags are just visible. Jagged rock pillars rising from the Atlantic, reduced at this distance to small dark shapes. Somehow that makes them more dramatic. You know the violence of the water around their base, but here they're just part of that long, low line.
North Mayo doesn't get the attention it deserves from photographers. The coastline is stripped back to its essentials. Rock, water, sky, bog. That evening I had the whole place to myself, which at somewhere this remote feels about right!
Shipping is free once your order passes a threshold that depends on where it's going:

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!
