on your wall
Lee Valley Fog, Cork
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 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.
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

- 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!
