We found this Water Monitor Lizard chilling out in the deep shadows of some overhanging branches. It was a really hot, bright day, affording the opportunity to under-expose the image, but retaining enough light to minimise noise...
The monitor displays a history of fuel consumption for the last half hour, averaged over five-minute intervals. The "Current" MPG reading at the right is zero when the car is not moving, is off the top of the scale when the car is moving but the gasoline engine is off, and otherwise shows the fuel economy you're achieving moment by moment.Then it's averaged over five minutes, and displayed on the chart at the left; the little car symbols show how much energy you've put back into the battery pack using regenerative braking.
The emerald tree monitor or green tree monitor, is a small to medium-sized arboreal monitor lizard. It is known for its unusual coloration, which consists of shades from green to turquoise, topped with dark, transverse dorsal banding. This coloration helps camouflage it in its arboreal habitat.
I found this lizard at the entrance of the jurong birds park, Singapore.
the colour of the skin & texture has impressed me much.
thanks for every one for views, faves, comments.
Mertens' water monitor (Varanus mertensi), is a species of lizard in the family Varanidae. The species is endemic to northern Australia, and is a wide-ranging, actively foraging, opportunistic predator of aquatic and riparian habitats.
It grows to a total length (including tail) of about 1.0 m (3.3 ft). It is dark brown to black above, with many cream to yellow spots. The underparts are paler – white to yellowish – with grey mottling on the throat and blue-grey bars on the chest. The tail is strongly compressed laterally, with a high median dorsal keel, and is about 1.5 times the length of head and body.
Varanus mertensi is semiaquatic, a strong swimmer, and seldom far from water. It is often seen basking on midstream rocks and logs, and on branches overhanging swamps, lagoons, and waterways throughout its range. When disturbed, it drops into the water, where it can stay submerged for long periods.

HMS M33 is not only the sole remaining British veteran of the bloody Dardanelles campaign of 1915-1916, but also of the Russian Civil War which followed. The ship is one of just three British warships from World War I still in existence.
HMS M33, an M29-class monitor, was built in 1915 for the Royal Navy on the orders of the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill. She was a floating gun platform designed to bombard coastal positions from the sea. The 580-ton M33 is located in the No.1 Dry Dock at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard built in 1801 alongside HMS Victory, where she serves as a static museum.
The Anti-Monitor! One of the most powerful beings of in the multiverse.
These are based on the recent Justice League version, the reformed appearance in Crisis, and the original appearance respectively.

I've been reading a lot of Justice League recently, so this is just one of the groups I was inspired to make during reading.
Was lucky enough to see this Monitor sitting by the side of Fogg Dam. Jumped out the car, alittle nervous about crocodiles and quickly snapped away. It posed nicely for a few minutes before crossing the road and disappearing into the scrub.
Thanks for the name correction Rob!
The Kunsthochschule Kassel has a big exhibition in Kassel right now - embedded in the project Spaziergang Kassel; and I am shooting a little documentary on it *yay*.

The Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator) is a large varanid lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. It is widely considered to be the second-largest lizard species, after the Komodo dragon. It is distributed from eastern and northeastern India and Bangladesh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Sri Lanka, through southern China and Hainan Island in the east to mainland Southeast Asia and the islands of Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Lombok, the Riau Archipelago, Sulawesi. It is one of the most widespread monitor lizards.
Snapshot from my video.
The Asian water monitor has a natural affinity towards water, inhabiting the surroundings of lakes, rivers, ponds, swamps and various riparian habitats, including sewers, city parks, and urban waterways. It is an excellent swimmer and hunts fish, frogs, invertebrates, water birds, and other types of aquatic and amphibious prey. Due to its apparently large, stable population, it is currently listed as Least Concern on to the IUCN Red List.
