Dún na mBó, Belmullet, 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 name translates as the Fort of the Cows, though I suspect any cow that wandered out here would have had serious second thoughts.
Dún na mBó sits on the western edge of the Belmullet peninsula, exposed to everything the Atlantic can throw at it. I've spent years exploring this coastline, and it keeps pulling me back. This spot is one of the reasons. A natural amphitheatre of rock, with a blowhole and a cluster of small sea stacks rising from the wash. They're not enormous. They punch well above their weight for drama.
I set up on the cliff edge above the inlet, drawn to a V-shaped notch in the lichen-covered rock directly below me. It framed everything perfectly, channelling the eye down through the foreground and out towards those dark, jagged boulders standing in the swell. The light was flat and cool, heavy cloud diffusing everything evenly. Exactly what I wanted. Direct sun would have blown the highlights on the water and killed the mood entirely.
I slowed the shutter right down and let the ocean do its work. The water rendered into this beautiful textured froth, wrapping around the base of each stack, filling every channel. The rocks stayed razor sharp against all that motion. A small place making a very large statement, and chances are you could visit on any given day and have it entirely to yourself!

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!
