FULL WORDS AVAILABLE: INFO@COVER-IMAGES.COM . THIS CREDIT *MUST* BE USED: Steve Challice/Cover Images
A man has snapped what could be the best photo evidence yet of the Loch Ness monster.
Steve Challice, from Southampton, says he was at Castle Urquhart on the West bank of Loch Ness in Scotland in September last year.
Seeing a “disturbance” in the water, He managed to fire off four frames of the creature.
The resulting pictures include one that shows an unidentified creature surfacing as it swims.
However, Steve insists he is not claiming to have seen the mythical Nessie.
He tells UK media agency Cover Images (www.cover-images.com): “In my opinion (and I'm no expert) I think it's a large fish that got into the Loch from the sea. As to what it is personally, I think it's a cat fish or something like that but a big one. Someone suggested it may be a sturgeon. It's very large as the bit you can see must be at least 8-foot-long and who can tell what amount is below the surface. The water is very dark in Loch Ness so it's hard to tell.
“I saw a disturbance in the water in front of me and took an image, then a second one and suddenly this fish came out of the water and I got an image of it. It was gone almost instantly so much so I wasn't sure if I had got it or not. I guess it was something of a fluke shot. I waited about for a bit and took another image but didn't see the fish again.”

FEATURE - Eichhörnchen an den eigenen Olympischen Spielen
Ready for the Olympics? These sporty squirrels certainly are.
These hilarious images are the work of animal photographer Geert Weggen.
He creates quirky scenes by placing tiny props and getting garden squirrels to interact.
The 52-year-old from Bispgarden, Sweden, explains: "For many years I did not see big sport events, but when the Euro football tournament was almost towards an end, I started to see some matches and liked it. But it was too late to do a squirrel series and so I thought that I would do an Olympic series instead, because I had about 3 weeks left for this event.
“There about 10 different squirrels, both young and old ones. To make them trust me, most of the time I move slowly and be very quiet. I show up often so that they get used to me. Also, in not giving them attention sometimes and doing other things, that can make them curious. And food helps, of course. When they understand that I am the one putting out food, the trust comes easier.
“I would say the boxing set-up is my favourite. I had this idea for years and made the props and bought the gloves many years ago, but never started to work at it I never saw this idea before in photography, and that made my choice.”

NEWS - Lkw-Unfall verschiebt Brücke um 2 Meter in Georgia, USA
PICTURE SHOWS: Georgia DOT managed to completely demolish the bridge by Friday morning.
A truck hit a bridge so hard it shunted it six feet.
These shocking pictures show the aftermath of the crash in Georgia, USA, on Thursday (15 July).
The overpass crosses Interstate 16 in Treutlen County, which had to be closed following the accident.
A Georgia Department of Transportation spokesman said a dump truck carrying large tyres was driving at between 1:00-1:30am with its dump trailer up when it struck the bridge. He explained: “It actually moved the bridge off its set mark just under six feet, which is something a lot of our engineers have never seen before.” They confirmed the driver was “OK”.
Georgia DOT managed to completely demolish the bridge by Friday morning. They reported: “Overnight and early Friday morning crews were able to remove the GA HWY 86 Bridge over I-16 completely and began clearing debris from the roadway so that I-16 could safely reopen to traffic. Both Westbound travel lanes of I-16 are now open, two days sooner than expected.”

NEWS - Lkw-Unfall verschiebt Brücke um 2 Meter in Georgia, USA
A truck hit a bridge so hard it shunted it six feet.
These shocking pictures show the aftermath of the crash in Georgia, USA, on Thursday (15 July).
The overpass crosses Interstate 16 in Treutlen County, which had to be closed following the accident.
A Georgia Department of Transportation spokesman said a dump truck carrying large tyres was driving at between 1:00-1:30am with its dump trailer up when it struck the bridge. He explained: “It actually moved the bridge off its set mark just under six feet, which is something a lot of our engineers have never seen before.” They confirmed the driver was “OK”.
Georgia DOT managed to completely demolish the bridge by Friday morning. They reported: “Overnight and early Friday morning crews were able to remove the GA HWY 86 Bridge over I-16 completely and began clearing debris from the roadway so that I-16 could safely reopen to traffic. Both Westbound travel lanes of I-16 are now open, two days sooner than expected.”
