Inspirational reading

As a photographer I am always looking for new ways to expand my creative awareness of the world around me. In Milne's book I found insight into a subject that is of great interest to me; places and experiences on the earth that take on a sacred quality. The subject matter of sacred sights is definitely not new, but Courtney expands our awareness and defition of what is a sacred sight. A great book for the soul traveller or photographer. I know the book definitely fired up my strong travel bug, as well as adding new insight into my photography. Anyone know when the plane leaves for Cuzco or Tibet?
