Having co-written a major photographic reference book on Australian
Land Snakes and Lizards I had ample contact with all manner of amazing
scaled creatures. Occasionally I had the thought to go in closer with
the camera, when it was safe, and capture the odd scaled creation
in close-up. The monitor skin makes me wonder about the source of
Aboriginal dot paintings.
