Named after two battleships in the American Civil War, these
ironclad warships met in the Battle of the Hamptons in March 1862, the first battle involving ironclad ships.
The battle had immediate effects on navies around the world. The preeminent naval powers, Great Britain and France, halted further construction of wooden-hulled ships. Although Britain and France had been engaged in an iron-clad arms race since the 1830s, the Battle of Hampton Roads signaled a new age of naval warfare for the whole world. A new type of ironclad warship was produced on the principles of the original Monitor. The use of a small number of very heavy guns, mounted so that they could fire in all directions, was first demonstrated by Monitor and soon became standard in warships of all types.
The two formations in this image mark the beginning of the high plateau leading to Canyonlands National Park.
Hope you have a great week ahead. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your support -- I greatly appreciate it. We have one more day in Moab before heading home thru Yosemite,

I heard some rustling sounds on a walk through the Singapore Botanical Garden mid afternoon.
I was surprised to find this monitor lizard searching for food around the base of a tree.
On closer look, I can see it is still moulting. I quickly took a shot before it slithered away.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated..
Peaceful Travel Tuesday

Happy Caturday!
For the Happy Caturday Group 1/22/2022 theme "Black & White".
This one without a doubt was the largest one I've seen yet. Probably longer than 6 feet.
Wikipedia: The Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator) is a large varanid lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. It is one of the most common monitor lizards in Asia, ranging from coastal northeast India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, mainland Southeast Asia, and southern China to Indonesian islands where it lives close to water.
Conservation status: Least Concern

This land monitor (varanus bengalensis) raised its head nicely as I got closer to it. The animal's snout is a little muddy from foraging - its diet is varied, including mice, ants, fruit, frogs, spiders, scorpions and beetles. Photographed in Yala, near Kirinda, Sri Lanka.

The 'Sand Motor' is a unique experiment. An artificial peninsula of sand should automatically maintain the beaches up north. The idea is that the Gulf Stream moves the sand up north, a slow process that is carefully monitored by this pole. Notice the tiny figure underneath.

Varanus glauerti grows up to 80 cm (31 in) long, and three-quarters of its length is the long tail.
This species consumes very little vertebrate prey, eating primarily invertebrates, especially millipedes, beetles, molluscs and orthopterans. Millipedes for example form nearly a quarter of their diet; the monitors are apparently resistant to its poisonous secretions.
