The Loch

Nature is often obscure or impenetrable, but she is not, like Man, deceitful.

Shadows walk. What is… isn't. What isn't… may be.

It was July 13, the summer of 2000. My husband and I were on holiday in Scotland, on the shores of Loch Ness. We'd stopped to take a picture of the lake, just to have something to show my friends. I was using my little Kodak with a 23mm lens. The shot I snapped was taken near Boleskin House, by one of the deepest parts of the lake. The Loch was glassy calm, and there were no boats around. When we saw the developed photo, well… we were shocked.

The object is definitely on the film, it's not a mark on the negative.
