Killybegs, County Donegal
Killybegs has a long History with the Irish fishing industry and is one of the top fishing port in the country.
The town is located on the South West Donegal Pennisula, it is an ideal place to base yourself when visiting the North West of Ireland, with locations such as the sea cliffs at Sliabh League.
The day I took these images I spent hours just watching the fishing boats unload, slowly walking along the harbour and taking images of the boats and some views of the town. This is a great location to visit and a festival is held here at the start of August each year which includes music and family entertainment – all live on the festival stage in the centre of the town.

Hello Robin 🙂
Thank you, yes that is very true and a great observation, shapes, colours, size – your right.
I thinks that’s why they make such great subject for photography….

Just a wonderful gallery Nigel!!
I love the vibrant colors of the boats – every one different and interesting in its own way. How great to have a job working around this place. 🙂
I really love the yellow hotel against the clouds and mountains in the background. And also the cloudscape, and of course the dark storm approaching in the last image.
Yes, this is a place I’d love to spend a day (or three) walking around and just watching the boats and people and activity.
🙂 🙂

What a great start to the day. Killybegs was my Dad’s home and a place we visited regularly as children. He was involved in the fishing industry with BIM so the pier and the trawlers were very familiar to us. Love the pictures, they brings me back.:)
