Letters from the Landscape

I stepped outside and the world had vanished. No horizon, no sound, just white. The house sits in Ballingeary, right on the valley floor, and some mornings the fog pools so thick you can't see the gate. After seventeen years here I know exactly what that means. The whole Lee Valley has filled up like a basin, Lough Allua has disappeared, and somewhere above all that white, the hilltops are sitting in perfectly clear air.

Getting above it confirmed what I'd hoped. The fog lay flat and still across the valley, and the forested ridges broke through it like a chain of islands in a white sea. Further out, the peaks of Douce and Doughill caught the first warmth of the morning sun while everything below them simply didn't exist. How often do you get to look down on the place you live and not recognise a single feature of it?

The fog inversions are what I wait for here. They're not unusual, but the really good ones, where the mist is perfectly level and the light is gentle rather than harsh, those might come a handful of times a year. I was still in my slippers when I spotted this one, which probably tells you something about the glamour of the whole operation! But that's the advantage of living in the middle of your subject. You don't plan for mornings like this. You just have to be paying attention.

Before you buy

When will it arrive?

You'll get an email with tracking as soon as it ships. If it's for a date, a birthday, an anniversary or a new home, add a note at checkout or email me at info@petercox.ie. I'll do my best to prioritise it and give you a realistic timeline.

What does shipping cost?

I ship worldwide, and every print from Exhibition size up goes free to Ireland, the UK and Europe. Studio prints and books carry a small charge, and the cost for the size you've chosen is shown under the Add to Cart button. The full table is on our Shipping page, and you'll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay. Every parcel is tracked and insured. Within the EU there's no customs duty; outside it, any import duty or tax is the buyer's to pay.

Does the size include the frame?

Yes. A framed size is the whole frame, edge to edge: 3 inches bigger each way than the print inside it. An unframed size is the sheet of paper, including the white border where I sign and title each print by hand. Canvas and Floating Panel sizes are the face of the piece.

Unframed Museum-quality Giclée print on archival cotton rag paper. Choose your own frame.
Framed Black wood frame, glazed with acrylic so it travels safely, with a mount on Exhibition and Feature sizes. Ready to hang.
