Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.
The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
My daughter was visiting and we were going through some old photos.

It looks really large, unless I'm not figuring the scale and distance right: it looks to me like a classic "Upturned boat"
Very odd that you missed it if that is the size it was, it must have been sitting very still.
Best Wishes, Dale D.
Hi Dale (waves)
I didn't take the photo, my daughter did and I hadn't seen it before until she brought with some others when she came to visit.I had asked her for some photos of Whitby and she brought the Loch Ness ones as well.
As for it sitting very still.....I suspect it was a rock and not prone to move much lol. Unless someone else appears who says they saw Nessie in 2002 around the same time(I would have to check dates with daughter) , I think we can assume it is an inanimate object. But it illustrates how you can take a photo and not realise what you may have photographed.
Hi again (waves back)
The thing about rocks at Loch Ness is (as you surely must know), the sides of the Loch are very steep. One should not be seeing so large a rock so far out in the Loch, it seems wrong somehow to me.
But then you've been there and I haven't. At least it isn't either a shadow or a wave in the water.
Cheers and say hi to your daughter for me, too.
Best Wishes, Dale D.
