Fishing boats returning, Guilvinec, SW Brittany

We stayed with our friends Bernard and Nelly in SW Brittany for our last day in France.
They took us to see the fishing boats coming back to Guilvinec harbour in the late afternoon, and this picture shows many of them heading home, and some already within the harbour.
In summer, hundreds of people come to watch.... in winter, very few, and big waves break over the sea wall.
Lots of different fish, including langoustines, are off-loaded in open crates (if, after watching, you want to buy some, you go to a shop in the harbour complex, rather than straight from the boat).
Within an hour, all is done, and the boats go into the inner harbour to prepare for next day.
