17th June 2017. The View from Churchill Heights.

Saturday was a beautiful fine winter's day. Sun, not too hot and no wind. A perfect day for sketching. We went up Churchill Heights which has views of the city and the mountain. I planned to sketch the mountain, but it was under cloud, so I did the view out to the Port Taranaki and the Tasman Sea instead.

Here is my sketch:

Today I sketched the view out to Port Taranaki from the top of Churchill Heights.
This hill is named Churchill Heights to commemorate in perpetuity the gratitude of the people of this district for the faith courage and resolution inspired by the leadership of the Right Hon. Winston S. Churchill, P.C., O.M., C.H., Prime Minister of Great Britain 1940 - 1945

Previously this hill was called Caverhill.
