The Past



The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

Monochrome Monday - 13th April


Another Monochrome Monday and for a change not another photo of my distant relatives ..

Not sure who this fellow is .. or is it a lady ?  Perhaps Charlie Chaplin ? 


You'll find him or her in the Municipal Park at Elche - now I'm sure I can see a moustache !!

He seems happy in his work.

Bonsoir Petrus,
Well he looks also like the famous clown from a fast food restaurant.

I prefer thinking it's Chaplin, because, here, he can get my admiration.

That's an interesting shot and he does remind me of Charlie Chaplin. Good subject for monochrome.

At first I thought female, but your words drew me to male. Curious.

I was even thinking the statue looked like Duke Ellington! Somehow I think of some jazz legends rather than stage/film legends like Chaplin!

It is a little hard to tell isn't it? I like the plant in the background, very interesting. Great shot.

No, the hair doesn't look right for Chaplin! Good shot though.

Just notcied your WH Davies quote. there was a programme on the rdaio about him yesterday and he read that poem. (They had an old recording of him I should say.)
