Churchill, the painter Photo

Photographer’s Note

Camara de lobos
Madeira-Portugal
It is a traditional fishing village, situated five kilometres from Funchal, which inspired the late Sir Winston Churchill to paint its lovely surroundings with its colorful boats and its almost cubistic houses on the hills around the harbour.
The village was given its name by the explorers João Gonçalves Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira because of the shape of its bay and the many sea lions (‘lobos’) living there at the time.

Beste Kris,

Mooie originele foto. Scherp en goed gekaderd. Al die huizen lijken wel op elkaar gestapeld! Misschien had je die auto er vanaf kunnen knippen??
