Churchill
occupied his time admiring the beautiful landscapes
of Madeira. He was impressed with Camâra de Lobos,
where he painted various pictorial images of the village.
He also painted the refulgent valley of Ribeira da
Metade in Ribeiro Frio - the location of the hatchery
where trout are bred alll year round still today.
Churchill
adored the country-side, he spent as much of his time
as possible close to nature. His endearment of the
outdoors was illustrated by his purchase of Chartwell
Farm and Parkside farm in England. In Madeira he would
be spoilt by the fresh air, the frustic charm of the
populace, and thesub tropical winter blossoming of
flowers …
 The
renowned photograph of Sir Winston Churchill painting
in Camâra de Lobos depicts a distinguished and compelling
world leader wrapped in the bow of a simplistic fishing
village. A contrast to the complex racqueteering of
the House of Commons. Camâra de Lobos is to this day
still visibly impressed with the stature of this English
Aristocrat - bars in the area carry his photographs,
the location of his painting belvedere is commonly
referred to as Churchill's Panorama, some establishments
even include Churchill in the title of their name.
