'and all the roads we have to walk are winding'

Well, this one's definitely not winding but it would probably have the same charm if not more.

There are certain images that give a key to what the design objective is. This is one. The final access road probably won't look like this but the feeling, ambiance ought at least approach this.

Here's one more to reflect on. Yes the fog gives it that nice iridescence but imagine it with sunlight and olive trees. The texture of the surfaces along with the lights provide the context for the larger environment.

Finally there is the serpentine path. This excellent photo by Ansel Adams establishes the photographic ideal that has been repeated many, many times.
