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

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, Sri Lanka, mainland Southeast Asia to Indonesian islands where it lives close to water.
The water monitor is a large species of monitor lizard. Breeding maturity is attained for males when they are a relatively modest 40 cm (16 in) long and weigh 1 kg (2.2 lb), and for females at 50 cm (20 in). However, they grow much larger throughout life, with males being larger than females. Adults rarely exceed 1.5–2 m (4 ft 11 in–6 ft 7 in) in length, but the largest specimen on record, from Sri Lanka, measured 3.21 m (10.5 ft).
The Asian water monitor is widely distributed from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, the Chinese Guangxi and Hainan provinces, Malaysia, Singapore to the Sunda islands Sumatra, Java, Bali, Borneo and Sulawesi. It inhabits primarily lowland freshwater and brackish wetlands. It has been recorded up to an elevation of 1,800 m (5,900 ft).

56091 Driver Wayne Gaskell passes the ever developing green tunnel for HS2 near Huddlesford, sadly 6M89 Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings was following the stopper and ambling along thus not liberally spreading its load over the countryside. I assume that the solar powered camera is producing a time lapse record of construction.
California State Route 89 southeast of Lake Tahoe. We used this route to get to US 395 along the eastern Sierra. This photo is part of a series of photos taken during a recent trip to the Eastern Sierra.
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.
