Monitor Belmont Mill Site
Belmont Ghost Town
Nevada
July 2021
The Belmont Monitor Mill was built by the Belmont Silver Mining Company in 1873 and was in use until 1889.
Vegetation monitoring is done every two years. Exotics and native species are located and counted during this monitoring. In the above photo, plant species are identified and counted within the space between the two poles. The black tape on the poles are a foot apart and aid in quantifying how much of one species is within the sample space. This sampling took place before planting in 2008. Eventually, the ground was covered in plant life.
The monitor lizards are large lizards in the genus Varanus. They are native to Africa, Asia and Oceania, but are now found also in the Americas as an invasive species. A total of 79 species are currently recognized. (Source: Wikipedia)

Monitoring well
Groundwater is the general term used to describe the water that has permeated into the surface of the earth and formed underground water lakes that are known as aquifers. The level of groundwater is monitored by special measuring instruments within so called monitoring wells. Monitoring wells are wells with a small diameter drilled into the ground, which are used for level monitoring of groundwater and water quality analysis.
Aquifers form an underground water reservoir where water reaches impermeable material such as a solid rock layer. Yet, it does not have a flat level top as we would expect with surface water, due to the difference in permeability of the surrounding soil, which complicates the measurement of level within the underground reservoir. They may also form at different depths and it is therefore not unusual to find several different aquifers at different depths in the same area. To learn more about this resource of water and to monitor the level of these reservoirs, monitoring wells are bored and used for level monitoring.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!

There are several of these remote monitoring sites along the Dempster Hwy.
Often used to check the condition of the road where thawing permafrost or erosion has caused the highway bed to collapse. Sometimes there are cameras installed to document these changes.

The lace monitor or lace goanna (Varanus varius) is a member of the monitor lizard family, Australian members of which are commonly known as goannas. It belongs to the subgenus Varanus.
Lace monitors are the second-largest monitor in Australia after the perentie. They can be as long as 2.1 m with a head-and-body length of up to 76.5 cm. The tail is long and slender and about 1.5 times the length of the head and body.The maximum weight of lace monitor can be 20 kg , but most adults are much smaller.
These common terrestrial and often arboreal monitors are found in eastern Australia and range from Cape Bedford on Cape York Peninsula to south-eastern South Australia. They frequent both open and closed forests and forage over long distances (up to 3 km a day).

Opened up an older 19" LCD monitor that was turning itself off after running for a short amount of time. Got to the power supply board and found these bulging caps. Sure sign that these are causing the problem. #bulgingcapacitors #lcdrepair
I built a gadget to do long-term temperature and humidity monitoring in Nevada. Since there will be plenty of sun, the solar panel will power the circuit and trickle charge the batteries during the day, and the batteries will take over from sundown to sunrise. But there's enough power to go for about 3 days with no sunlight.
I love how the Arduino (actually the Atmel microcontrollers) blurs the line between programming and electronics.
The 2GB SD card is a bit of overkill, but it's the only one I had around. It will store over 10 years of data. :)
Large monitor lizard out for a stroll in the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The most common monitor lizard found in Singapore is the Malayan Water Monitor (Varanus salvator), which can grow up to 3m long. This one was about 1.5m.

I had climbed up on the rocky banks surrounding a jungle stream and was clambering around a section that was too deep to wade through. I looked up and saw this, a young water monitor clinging to a tree overhanging the river. He had seen me before I saw him and was already awake and watching me, I snapped one photo and took a step back and he couldn't handle my presence anymore and flung himself into the dark water below to make his getaway. I also came across a water monitor sleeping in the water with just the tip of its nose protruding above the surface on a different occasion. After this one jumped in the water I waited around for about 10 minutes to see if it would emerge, I didn't see it again. It might have snuck past me or moved up or down river or potentially even still have been hiding underwater somewhere, I'm not sure how long a monitor like this could remain underwater for.
I couldn't believe the beautiful pattern on this Crocodile Monitor Lizard at the Calgary Zoo. It looks as if it is made from exquisite, fine, beadwork! Truly amazing!
"Varanus salvadorii, first described in 1878, is the largest species of monitor lizard found in New Guinea, and is believed to be one of the longest lizards in the world, reaching up to 244 cm (8.0 ft). It is an arboreal lizard with a dark green body and yellowish bands, a blunt snout and a very long tail. It lives in mangrove swamps and coastal rain forests in the southeastern part of the island, where it feeds on birds, small mammals, eggs, and carrion in the wild, using teeth that are better adapted than those of most monitors for seizing fast-moving prey. Like all monitors it has anatomical features that enable it to breathe more easily when running than other lizards can, and V. salvadorii is thought to have greater stamina than most monitors. Little is known about its reproduction and development, as the species is very difficult to breed in captivity.
V. salvadorii is threatened by deforestation and poaching, and is protected by the CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species) agreement. The lizard is hunted and skinned alive by tribesmen to make drums, who describe the monitor as an evil spirit that "climbs trees, walks upright, breathes fire, and kills men". However they also say that it gives them warnings if there are crocodiles nearby." From Wikipedia.
This is an old monitor which serves as the base for the new bed. Muahahahaha. The story takes an evil turn to scrapping an old monitor.
