I had already explored the island's Watercolour Museum and particularly its artists' studios (pictured) as a precedent, but when I visited the area last summer I also discovered an interesting precedent for the treatment of a granite landscape.
Wooden staircases were playfully scattered around the landscape (perfectly camouflaged with the granite), facilitating the climb to the top of the island without limiting the visitor's choice of routes.
I took the photographs in July 2010 - I had a great time climbing the rock, sometimes using the stairs... and sometimes not!
