Short but perfectly formed, I think that would be a fair description of last night's fireworks display on the Kessock Bridge in Inverness. I'm sure the surprisingly short run-time will add more fuel to the fire of complaints about it being a waste of money, but I liked it. It was tasteful and elegant, and some parts were very clever. Have you ever seen fireworks dance before? I just wish it had been longer!

The P&J's staff photographer did the torchlit procession and fireworks from somewhere in South Kessock, I did the fireworks from the end of a very slippery ferry ramp at North Kessock, and then the lovely ladies at the picture desk will decide whose work makes it to print.

I'll post some more pics early next week, and link this one to a larger version, but for now here's a small version. Just look at the scale of the display! That bridge is a mile long, and the display must have spanned at least half a mile.

Update: Now linked to a larger version, and click here for more.
