Amritsar : I reached Amritsar, the Sikh's holy city, by train from Varanasi, one of Hinduism holiest sites. A long train ride - a full day and a night, but I thought my visit to the Golden Temple worth the trek. I didn't visit the Pakistan border nearby - the only land crossing between the two countries, but I did pay my respects at the rather neglected memorial to the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. For my travelog see www.wilhelmswords.com/asia2001.

Trona Pinnacles, California, USA : I was sent to Ridgecrest California in December '08 for work, and while there I heard that at a nearby site named the Trona Pinnacles many Hollywood movies were filmed. Most famously, the original <i>Planet of the Apes</i>. Don't these pictures make you think of a certain "really quite very off limits" zone?

Captain Kirk rolled around in the dirt here a few times also, I'm sure.

UPDATE: I visited the area again in June of '09 for work, so this time I went out at night and got some night shots of the pinnacles too. They begin on page 4 of this gallery.
