A technical hitch at a bonfire night display in Scotland set off thousands of dollars worth of fireworks within a minute.
The show, organised by Oban and Lorn Lions, in the western Highlands, was expected to last about half an hour and was to be accompanied by music.
Instead, observers saw a spectacular display as every firework went off at the same time.
After the unexpectedly short display, an announcement was made to inform the crowds that the fireworks were over.
Posters advertising the event had advised that the fireworks at Mossfield Stadium would start at 7pm prompt and visitors had been asked to donate generously to help cover the costs.
