It’s obviously some kind of plesiosaur, you can’t mistake it from that photo.

Tyre’s bound together, this is so old hat, they did this in the 1961 film ‘What a Whopper’ Also a kayaking, team building sort of guy like him would at least have an iphone or the sort of cam phone that would produce a higher definition pic than this!

It can’t be real… everyone knows that Lake Windermere isn’t big enough to support a breeding population of old-tyres…

Lee Walker could not be more to the piont when we are led to believe in magic and we have it educated out of us, I would love to believe it was a true picture, but so far nothing has ever been proven from bigfoot UFO’s and Nessie keep hoping, but we know it a crock

Photograph of canoeist, to create the wake.

Canoe is edited out in Photoshop (or similar) with overlay of the “monster”

detail around the edge of the monster is too sharp and well defined in comparison to rest of image.

Good effort.

Will the Shropshire Star consider running a competition for the best fake image? Needn’t have a big prize bound to be lots of people eager to enter, and even more determined to believe the fakes are real.

Maybe he purchased a submarine from South America.

Here’s what I think:
Instead of referring to it as the “Loch Ness MONSTER,” why can’t we all refer to it as the “Loch Ness CREATURE?” I mean, there are probably A LOT of living beings inhabiting this planet that we have not “discovered” yet….so they don’t have a “name!” That’s not fair to them that anything that’s “unknown,” or unfamiliar to us is to be branded a “monster!” Once something is labeled a “monster,” it becomes candidate to be FEARED, MISUNDERSTOOD, LOATHED, then inevitably CAPTURED to be POKED, PRODDED like laboratory GUINEA-PIGS, until they are ultimately KILLED!!!! This “Loch Ness ‘Monster’” is merely a God-Made creature; a LIVING-BEING, that should be respected, and protected like anything else on this planet Earth!! Don’t you think? I do!!!
Peace!

So, with the likelihood of a kayak capsizing, why would one take a cell phone? Just asking

I love how skeptics who never saw the creature are so convinced it’s a fake. Well I’ve never seen you, therefore you must be fake.

Truth is, evolutionists do not want this to be true because a living dinosaur would be inexplicable. The scientific community would be dumb-founded to explain why this creature hasn’t evolved into a lion or a spruce tree by now, so they wish it away.

If you believe life evolved on its own with no intelligence or design you have to believe that evolution can evolve its own natural laws. Now there’s a contradiction.

ANYONE SEEN NESSIE ?

Has anyone seen Nessie ?

You can’t imagine she’d disappear;

But there’s been no reported sightings

For about a year.

Usually, in the Summer months

Tourists gather in their flocks;

Hoping, maybe. To catch a glimpse

Of the monster in the Lochs.

But for a year or two, it’s been unusually quiet,

Her existance can’t be supported;

For there hasn’t been a single case

Of her appearance being reported.

You’d think it rather difficult

To lose something of that size;

An aquatic monster; like a dragon,

In some people’s eyes.

Thought to have broken the surface

Many times before,

People have spotted what they think is her,

While camping on the shore.

Perhaps she’s found a nice new home,

In some other part of the land;

It’s the most likely scenario,

And I think folk will understand.

Big enough to take up more than one seat

It must be hard to go abroad;

The price of aircraft tickets would be

More than she could afford.

When you are so very long,

And probably one of a kind,

You’re going to attract attention,

And will find it difficult to unwind.

People photographing your every move,

Binoculars trained on the Loch;

When boats speed out to annoy you,

It’s time for you to take stock.

Time to move on, to pastures new,

Somewhere, you are not known;

Where you can blend into the background,

Where no other monsters have a home.

So, keep your eyes open, all over this land,

You never know where she’ll be next;

She could make her base almost anywhere,

The public will be totally perplexed.

As popular as a film star,

Always expected to make a show;

Never getting a minutes rest,

Wherever she decides to go.

Perhaps she’ll crop up, one of these days,

In water that’s quite near;

It’s not far to travel to Cumbria,

Perhaps, in Lake Windermere.

So, if you see old Nessie,

Make her feel at home;

Because her size is quite a hinderance

When, from town to town you roam.

Just think of all those people

Waiting at Loch Ness’ shore,

For the Summer sightings,…

They’ll get them no more !

Don’t let on she’s moved from Scotland,

To civilisation, south of the border,

Fed up with all the pestering,

Trying to get her life, into order.

Her chosen new home is quite popular,

Folk sail, and canoe, and kayak;

Anyone of them could spy ripples in the water,

And spot the rising humps, of her back.

Don’t take photo’s and rush to the papers,

If you consider telling TV, then please cease;

Old Nessie want’s to swim around,

And live her life, in peace.

In Bowness, she can spend the rest of her days,

Settling in to her adopted lake;

Making her home quite comfortable,

Taking all the time it takes !
