Taken in 1983 when this line was run as part of London Underground's Central Line. After having looked though lots of photos I took in the 1980s, I've come to the conclusion that the predominant colour then was grey. This photo is no exception and shows a set of 1962 stock in London Underground's
"livery", which they probably thought was silver, but which, after accumulating grime, just looks grey.

The first-order Fresnel lens that was used in both the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse and the North Head Lighthouse at various times. While at North Head it was once struck by a duck caught in some strong gales, chipping one of the prisms. There is some chance this is not the original lens as it passed through so many hands and seems to be stamped by a maker from a later period, but if it is not, it is a good representation of it.

Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, April 21, 2024
A non rescript little bird that shows up about the same time as the tree sparrows disappear for the summer.
Spizella passerina.
The nest of the Chipping Sparrow is of such flimsy construction that light can be seen through it. It probably provides little insulation for the eggs and young.
On a limb
I tend to not notice sparrows as they are ubiquitous but this Chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina) posed so nicely on a maple tree branch that I couldn't resist.
According to the Cornell Labs, In 1929, Edward Forbush called the Chipping Sparrow “the little brown-capped pensioner of the dooryard and lawn, that comes about farmhouse doors to glean crumbs shaken from the tablecloth by thrifty housewives.”
