51-year-old Chi Kelly managed to take photos of a mysterious snake-like creature in the Scottish Loch Ness, which have already been named the best images of Nessie in history.

Kelly took these photos back in 2018, but until recently refrained from publishing them for fear of ridicule.

During the largest search for Nessie in the last half century, which took place on Loch Ness over the weekend, one person finally convinced Kelly to share the images with the public.

In August 2018, Chi Kelly, along with her husband Scott and daughter Alice, visited Scotland to relax on Loch Ness. On August 13, while on the shore, Kelly began photographing the surroundings of the lake.

"I was just taking pictures with a Canon camera and while photographing our five—year-old daughter Alice, I noticed a creature swimming about 200 meters from the shore and moving from right to left at a constant speed," she said. "Sometimes it seemed that it was twisted. We've never seen a head or a neck. After a couple of minutes, he just disappeared, and we never saw him again," she told The Telegraph.

However, in one of the frames, you can see a small, head-like object resembling the head of a large dragon or dinosaur.

Another image shows the spotted body of a large python curled up in the water.

Although Kelly and her family did not see the creature in full size, they estimated that the length of its visible body parts was just under two meters.

"At first I thought it was an otter, or two otters, or a seal, but we never saw the head, and she didn't get up to catch her breath. And it made a strange movement on the surface. We didn't hear any sounds. And under the surface of the water, some strange shapes were visible. I couldn't tell what color it was because the water was dark. I do not know what it was, but it was definitely some kind of animal. At that time, I didn't want to be publicly ridiculed by posting these photos. What I saw was like a snake," says Kelly.

The first person besides her family to whom Chi Kelly decided to show these photos was Steve Feltham, who devoted 30 years of his life to finding Nessie.

He is so "obsessed" with the Loch Ness monster that in 1991 he quit his job and sold the house.

"These are the most exciting photos of Nessie that I have ever seen. These are exactly the photos that I myself have wanted to take for three decades.

It is rare to see something so clear on the surface of the lake. We're lucky that Kelly finally decided to release this information.

I've talked to her twice, and her photos are absolutely authentic. And I convinced her and her husband that these pictures are so important that they should be shown to everyone.

They want it investigated themselves. It's definitely not a floating log, it's a living thing, and it's completely inexplicable," Feltham says.

51-year-old Chi Kelly managed to capture photographs of a mysterious snake-like creature in Scotland’s Loch Ness, already being hailed as the best images of Nessie in history.

Kelly took these photos back in 2018 but refrained from sharing them until recently due to a fear of ridicule.

During the largest Nessie search in the past half-century, which took place on Loch Ness last weekend, one individual finally convinced Kelly to share the images with the public.

In August 2018, Chi Kelly, along with her husband Scott and daughter Alice, visited Scotland for a vacation at Loch Ness. On August 13, while on the shore, Kelly began taking pictures of the lake’s surroundings.

Famous creatures

There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.

According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.

Mounting

Photo editing began to be used almost immediately after the advent of photography techniques. They were divided into methods of photomontage without manipulation of the image after receiving the photo and retouching of the photo itself or its negative (plate, film, etc.)
