New photos of the Loch Ness Monster

Dear users, dear authors,
the Loch Ness Monster apparently let itself be photographed a little. There were a few bumps in the water and ripples, and something that might have been a snake, but that’s probably enough to spark the imagination. :-)
The photos are from 2018 but were only just released because there was recently an extensive search for Nessie.

I can’t post the photos or links here, but you’re sure to find plenty of them on Google.

Will you perhaps be spending your next vacation in Scotland and searching for the Loch Ness Monster while you’re there?

You can also find tame monsters that are easy to photograph in the shop at Crazypatterns.

I visited Scotland in the early ’90s, and of course I went to Loch Ness. I didn’t see anything there, but once you step out of that information center, you actually start to believe in it. 😂😂

I think Nessie (if she actually exists) enjoys leading everyone on and getting lots of attention. :-)

You mean it’s just lying around on the bottom, rolling around with laughter? Yeah, that could be.
In any case, I brought one home back then—it lives on my bookshelf....

Yeah, I think so.
Your monster is great.
But seriously, the lake is 230 m deep. You could hide plenty of monsters in there if necessary. 

Oh, Josefa, you’re just the best! I’ve been laughing my head off for hours now because ever since I read your line, “You can hide lots of monsters in there, if necessary,” I’ve been imagining what could possibly lead to having to hide lots of monsters in a lake... Wonderful :-D

I was at Loch Ness this summer. Unfortunately, Nessie wasn’t home that particular day because she
had to accept Charlie’s invitation to Edinburgh – and as we all know, you shouldn’t keep kings waiting.
😉😎😊

@Nicole,
I’m glad I could cheer you up.
Just imagine—the Loch Ness Monster has existed as a legend for centuries. Maybe there’s a grain of truth to it. Maybe there isn’t just one Loch Ness Monster, but several, or even many. Maybe there’s a whole monster city down there with a monster kindergarten for baby monsters, monster schools that teach you how to behave like a Loch Ness Monster, or even monster supermarkets with everything a monster could need.

Maybe every few years there’s a monster competition down there, where the best and brightest monsters compete against each other and choose the one monster that gets to swim to the surface and have its picture taken. That’s a great honor.

Down there, they already learn in kindergarten and school how to make sure monster photos come out blurry. That’s why no one has ever noticed that it’s a different monster every time. 

Of course there’s Monster TV, too, so the monsters know how much effort people on the surface put into taking a decent monster photo, and how much time they spend searching for monsters. 

It’s also possible, though, that I’ve watched too much TV as a moderator. 

@lillyschatz,
you’re right. Of course that won’t work. 

Josefa, maybe I’ve mentioned this before: You’re simply the best! Yes, I’ve mentioned it, but not today yet!

So, about the monster town, the monster training, and the contest for the blurriest monster photo... I think you’re right! There’s something like that down there!

Is Loch Ness actually a swimming lake?^^

A swimming lake only for the hardy—it’s freezing cold.

Wellllll, if Josefa’s vision of the underwater monster city is true (and I’m assuming it is)... then the bone-chilling water might not be the main concern... 

@Veronika:
The monsters have lowered the water temperature to protect their privacy. If you want to build a myth, you have to get creative. If the lake were warm, swimmers would be splashing around all the time, and no one would be interested in the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. 

@Nicole:
Thanks. I’m glad to hear that. Of course, I’m happy to return the compliment.
Don’t worry—the monsters won’t hurt you. They just want to have some fun. :-)
