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,

Wikipedia: The clouded monitor (Varanus nebulosus) is a species of monitor lizard, native to Burma, Thailand and Indochina to West Malaysia, Singapore, Java, and Sumatra. They are excellent tree climbers. It belongs to the subgenus Empagusia along with the Bengal monitor, the Dumeril's monitor and other monitor lizards. It had previously been listed as a subspecies of Varanus bengalensis by some herpetologists. It is a diurnal monitor.
Ecology Asia: This is a medium-sized monitor which can reach 1.5 metres in total length, but specimens of this size are uncommon. Similar in appearance to the Malayan Water Monitor Varanus salvator, it is distinguished by the position of the nostrils which lie mid-way between the eye and snout.
Its colouration comprises yellow spots on a brown-grey base. This mainly terrestrial species can be found in habitats as diverse as scrubland and rainforest, but is generally encountered as it digs amongst leaf litter searching for beetles and other insects. It may also be spotted clinging high up on tree trunks or exploring tree holes: its sharp claws make it an excellent climber.
This species occurs in Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Java and Sumatra.

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.

Quickly moving from birds-in-flight to a not-quite-so-slow lizard, I still had short exposure time set, little time to get down to eye level and only few shots to capture the monitor. To my surprise, this high ISO version turned out quite acceptable. Slightly denoised with Lightroom and uncropped.

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.

Came across this fella when out looking for spiders. A bit bigger than my usual photographic subjects nowadays( 3 to 5 mm), he was over a meter in length and seemed to have just shed his old skin as his colours were brilliant.
Minutes later he had shot up a nearby tree.
(Varanus Mertensi) Monitor lizards (from the Latin monere ‘to warn’) are so-called because of the way they raise their heads and upper body in an apparently watchful pose. As you see in the photo, the lizard does appear to be keeping a lookout. Mertens’ water monitors are found in coastal and inland waters across far northern Australia, from Broome to the western side of Cape York peninsula. They’re always near water, where they bask on rocks or overhanging branches, or amongst aquatic plants.
These lizards actually dig burrows at the water’s edge, where they shelter at night.
