Dozens of hot air balloons have taken to the skies from a park in Bristol.
The event was organised following the cancellation of the annual Bristol International Balloon Fiesta due to the pandemic.
About 30 balloons launched from 06:30 BST from a location that was kept under wraps to prevent crowds from gathering.
Organisers said Elm Park in Filton had been a popular choice when people were asked where they wanted balloons to fly from.

King s Lynn care company praised for their work Published: 07:00, 27 February 2021
A domiciliary care company in Lynn that gave its staff a £200 bonus has been praised for the care and support it gave a manâs father-in-law before and during the pandemic.
The good work by the family-run Care Company, based down Norfolk Street, has been highlighted by Castle Rising resident David Mills, whose father-in-law Clive Bailey passed away last September, aged 91.
Care workers and the NHS have been at the frontline in the fight against Covid-19 and, with other key workers, have put their own health and safety to one side to care for others.
