Stairs

Stairs are still on my mind. These glass ones are a feature of Apple stores everywhere -And these, very perilous, at Las Pozas, the house in the jungle built by millionaire eccentric art collector Edward James -
Their perilousness is made very real by a report from a friend who was in the neighbourhood but didn't visit: "the rains had made getting around in the garden treacherous due to sliminess of mosses growing on the concrete walks and particularly on the many stairs [no hand rails or guard rails] and injuries from falls were being reported."

But would you go up them (and down again) under the best of conditions?
