Irish photographer Peter Cox has launched his first collection of photographs The Irish Light, which is filled to the brim with stunning images of our beautiful country.
The artist was sick of looking at boring photographs of “of blue skies and grazing sheep” and set out on a journey to capture the truly magnificent images of Ireland.
The marvelous collection has been years in the making and Peter revealed that it has been a huge challenge.
