Charlie

In a place called Waterville a sculpture of Charlie Chaplin was placed on the boulevard.
Charlie spent many holidays in this Irish village. There were some renovations done and he stood a bit between rubbish.

He always stayed in this hotel close to the sea.

It was a very wet day in Waterville when we were there and the pebble beach didn't look so attractive.

But probably Charlie didn't mind and loved the weather here.

  2. Nice olde shot of Charlie, looks like he is way down on the beach - now, there was a guy who knew how to entertain a crowd. Very interesting Post :)

  4. How interesting! Every place has those bad days, so I'm sure Charlie also enjoyed some beautiful days by the sea. He probably found some rest there, and maybe wasn't as well known.

  7. Yes, I don't like pebble beaches either. They're hard to walk on but they look nice.

  8. Dearest Marianne,
    Being born in England I guess he did like probably the solitude of that pebble beach, still nearby...
    Lovely photos despite the grayish and rainy day!
    Hugs,

  12. I love the pebble beaches of Ireland. To me they are so melancholy. I still have a stone I picked up on a the beach I loved the most. I like your photos of the statues.
