Joe_Lizura - Lochness Monster Story

Joe_Lizura
August 8, 2012 Joe Lizura San Diego, CA.  So I stumbled upon this interesting story about the latest sighting of the "Nessie" more formally known as the Lochness Monster.  Here is a link to the story from the MSN homepage.  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/48496067/ns/technology_and_science-science/

What's interesting about the story is not so much the fact that there is another claim of a sighting of the Lochness Monster itself - it's interesting, but because of its distance from the shoreline and lack of other objects to be used as a reference point to the size of the "hump" thought to have been photographed, it's more likely not the monster at all.

But that wasn't what was of interest to me.  What really caught my eye was the Castle in the background of the picture, which doesn't look too spectacular in the photo.  I saw the name of the castle was the Urqhart Castle.  Just for fun, if you want to read a great story about the castle, click here on the Urqhart Castle link - it turns out that in it's day it was one of the largest castles in all of Scotland!  It's history is also well documented, so in a kind of nerdy way, it's a fun little read - check it out!  Oh, and as for the photo of the monster in the lake - is it just me or is there nothing in the water to see at all???

Have a great weekend!
