on your wall
Croagh Patrick, 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 a helicopter over Clew Bay after fresh snow had fallen on the upper slopes. Cold, clear, visibility stretching for miles. The kind of day you don't waste.
From directly above the coastal plain, Croagh Patrick looks volcanic. Almost too perfectly shaped to be real. The snow patches on the upper slopes caught the early afternoon light, and the shadow falling across the right flank gave the summit a sense of mass and weight you don't appreciate from ground level. You can see the pilgrim trail worn into the southern flank, that pale line scratched into the quartzite by thousands upon thousands of feet every year. Some of them barefoot, though that kind of craziness is less common than it used to be.
Clare Island sits out beyond the bay. The patchwork of fields on the plain below looks impossibly green against grey and white quartzite. I've photographed this mountain from the ground many times, but this perspective changed how I think about it. From up here you can see how it dominates everything around it. The settlements, the roads, the fields, all arranged around a single dramatic point.
I won't pretend there isn't something faintly absurd about photographing a place defined by physical hardship and devotion from the comfort of a helicopter. The pilgrims earned their view. I just borrowed mine!
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
- US and Canada: free over €250, otherwise €35
- 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!
