If the man who snapped the most famous picture of the Loch Ness Monster were still alive, he'd be startled by the sight of this eerie photograph.
It's a dead ringer for the photo taken by Colonel Robert Kenneth Wilson in 1934 - but this one was taken recently in Wimbledon Park Lake, in south-west London ... 600 miles away.
The photo, shot by construction site manager Arek Chytros, captures a black outline in the water that looks like the mythical monster but also not unlike a wheelbarrow, car exhaust, or indeed, a tree branch.
And just like the one taken by Colonel Wilson, a surgeon by trade - hence its name the 'surgeon's photograph' - it appears to show the monster's neck and head.
Arek Chytros, 35, took this photo of what appears to be the Loch Ness Monster - but 600 miles away in Wimbledon Park Lake, in south-west London, during a morning stroll
The construction site manager's photo (above) is a dead ringer for the one taken by Colonel Robert Kenneth Wilson in 1934. Online commenters thought it looked suspiciously like a wheelbarrow, car exhaust or cat. ('It's a tree,' said Mr Chytros)
Mr Chytros, 35, said he took the picture while strolling by the lake one morning.
Since he posted it online, it has garnered hundreds of likes and dozens of comments.
'My goodness,' wrote one person. 'Awesome,' said another.
But it was not taken so seriously by others.
One Londoner wrote: 'That's an escaped elephant. Anyone missing any?' Another said: 'F***ing wild swimmers!'
Colonel Wilson, a surgeon by trade, took this famous picture (the 'surgeon's photograph') of the 'monster' in Loch Ness in 1934, which appears to show its neck and head
Meanwhile, one Scot commented: 'On behalf of all Invernessians living in London, I can confirm that we endorse this message.'
Others proposed that Mr Chytros had seen a cat, an exhaust system, a wheelbarrow or a Boris bike - with one quipping that Nessie 'took a holiday'.
The 'surgeon's photograph' made headlines at the time, but is now said to have been an elaborate hoax.
It was apparently created using a toy submarine with wood putty attached, fashioned into a head and neck.
For Mr Chytros, however, the hoax is not so elaborate.
'It's a tree,' he said. 'As soon as I spotted, it I thought of Nessie hence I snapped a picture.'
But Mr Chytros is keeping an open mind as to whether an actual Loch Ness Monster exists.
'You never know what's hiding in the unknown,' he said.
'If a real Nessie exists then it's got to be some dinosaur that refused to go extinct. I'd like to think that it does exist.'
The Loch Ness monster is believed to resemble a prehistoric swimming reptile such as the plesiosaur (illustrated here)
Rumours of a strange creature living in the waters of Loch Ness have abounded over the decades, yet scant evidence has been found to back up these claims.
One of the first sightings, believed to have fuelled modern Nessie fever, came in May 2, 1933.
On this date the Inverness Courier carried a story about a local couple who claim to have seen 'an enormous animal rolling and plunging on the surface'.
Another famous claimed sighting is a photograph taken in 1934 by Colonel Robert Kenneth Wilson.
It was later exposed as a hoax by one of the participants, Chris Spurling, who, on his deathbed, revealed that the pictures were staged.
Other sightings James Gray's picture from 2001 when he and friend Peter Levings were out fishing on the Loch, while namesake Hugh Gray's blurred photo of what appears to be a large sea creature was published in the Daily Express in 1933.
Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London physician, captured arguably the most famous image of the Loch Ness Monster. The surgeon’s photograph was published in the Daily Mail on April 21, 1934
The first reported sighting of the monster is said to have been made in AD565 by the Irish missionary St Columba when he came across a giant beast in the River Ness.
But no one has ever come up with a satisfactory explanation for the sightings - although in 2019, 'Nessie expert' Steve Feltham, who has spent 24 years watching the Loch, said he thought it was actually a giant Wels Catfish, native to waters near the Baltic and Caspian seas in Europe.
An online register lists more than 1,000 total Nessie sightings, created by Mr Campbell, the man behind the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club and is available at www.lochnesssightings.com.
So what could explain these mysterious sightings?
Many Nessie witnesses have mentioned large, crocodile-like scutes sitting atop the spine of the creature, leading some to believe an escaped amphibian may be to blame.
Native fish sturgeons can also weigh several hundred pounds and have ridged backs, which make them look almost reptilian.
Some believe Nessie is a long-necked plesiosaur - like an elasmosaur - that survived somehow when all the other dinosaurs were wiped out.
Others say the sightings are down to Scottish pines dying and flopping into the loch, before quickly becoming water-logged and sinking.
While submerged, botanical chemicals start trapping tiny bubbles of air.
Eventually, enough of these are gathered to propel the log upward as deep pressures begin altering its shape, giving the appearance of an animal coming up for air.

Didn’t think that 2020 could get any weirder? Well, it just did. Because to add one more thing to the list of “2020 you did what now?,” is the fact that the Loch Ness Monster is currently trending on social media. Bet you didn’t see that one coming.

So just why is old Nessie back in the spotlight? Well, according to The Daily Record , an English tourist by the name of Steve Challice thought he had just managed to take a photo of a big fish in the legendary Loch while on vacation in Scotland last year. He managed to take a pic of a very large critter that looked to be 8 feet long, possibly a catfish. But it was just big enough and rare enough for those waters for people to start claiming it was the Loch Ness Monster once the photo went public.
For the record, though, even the guy who took the photo doesn’t really think it’s more than a fish, telling reporters “My guess would be that what I captured was a catfish or something like that. As seals get in from the sea then I expect that’s what it is and that would explain why these sightings are so few and far between.” Anyway, Nessie was debunked by Scooby-Doo and the gang back in the ’70s. It should really be a closed case after that point.

Now, we should add that most descriptions in the past of Nessie describe it as a big snake or eel , or maybe a water based dinosaur. But what we saw in these photos is clearly just a big fish, and not even a monstrous one at that. But, folks will latch on to pretty much anything these days. And people really want the Loch Ness Monster to be a real thing. Even though if it was a real thing, it would be the most remarkable animal in history. As Nessie has been spotted for hundreds of years , that would make it the longest-lived animal on Earth. It’s one thing to swallow that there’s a secret giant monster in a lake, it’s another to say it’s practically immortal too.
Nevertheless, the supposed reappearance of Nessie has sparked a lot of great snark on social media.
So maybe all this silliness is worth it for just that reason alone.

Charlotte Robinson spotted the mythical monster on the first day of her holiday with her parents, as Nessie appeared to pop her head and neck out of the water
A YOUNG girl is said to have taken the best pictures of the Loch Ness Monster “for years” while she was holidaying with her parents.
Charlotte Robinson, 12, from Leeds was staying at the Loch Ness Highland Lodges at Invermoriston with her parents when she spotted the elusive beast just 50ft away on the first day of her holiday.
Charlotte says the famous monster popped its head out of the water for about a minute before resurfacing ten feet further away around seven minutes later.
The little girl was with her mum Kat, 41, a business intelligence data analyst, and dad Dave, 52, a factory worker.
Nessie made her appearance last Friday, August 17 and Charlotte managed to capture the moment on her Apple phone.
Charlotte told the Daily Record : "There was something in the water about 50 feet from the shore. I took a photo. It had a neck and head was in the shape of a hook.
"I just took what I saw. It was black - I just don't know how far it was out of the water. I'm not good at judging distances.
"But after about a minute it disappeared and then came back up again in a different place. It was up for less than a minute the second time.
"I kinda believed in Nessie, but I wanted to see the proof. I always imagined her as having a long neck and flippers.
"I have seen something but I'm not sure what."
Mum Kat said: “I couldn't believe it. Something's there. With all the sightings over the years there must be something in the loch."
Nessie expert Steve Feltham, 55, who has been searching for Nessie for 27 years said he was “totally excited” by the photo and thought it was the best one in years.
So far this year there have been four official sightings of the monster.
Earlier this month an unnamed tourist claimed to have filmed the monster poking out of the water of the loch.
Eight-year-old Laria Annand began recording after her gran Marie noticed a mysterious ripple on the water.
Last year there were 11 accepted sightings, the highest number this century.
The mystery surrounding the monster brings a huge tourist boost to the area, estimated to be worth £30million a year.
