Achill 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.
I made this from the Irish Lights helicopter, somewhere off the north Mayo coast, and the moment Achill Head came into view I forgot I'd ever been there on foot. From a thousand feet up, every familiarity with the place just evaporated. That long finger of rock reaching into the Atlantic, tapering to a pyramidal peak, the ocean pulling white around its base on every side.
What struck me was how committed this ridge is to the sea. The bulk of the island falls away behind it, and the headland just keeps going. Cliffs dropping hundreds of metres on both sides. Scattered sea stacks standing alone in the swell below, broken off and holding their ground. The water here is extraordinarily dark green, that deep Atlantic colour where the continental shelf drops away and there's real depth beneath you.
The light was diffuse that day, filtered through patches of cloud, which suited the image perfectly. Hard sunlight would have buried the cliff faces in contrast. Instead, every ridge and fold in the rock reads clearly, and the breaking waves become the brightest thing in the frame, drawing your eye along the coastline. I've walked parts of that headland. But this is a perspective you simply cannot get from a cliff path, and very few people will ever have it!

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!
