Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

[Did you notice that double-clicking on the placemark doesn't cause the viewer to take you anywhere? This is because it is possible to directly author a "placeless placemark". If you look at the code for this example, you will see that it has neither a point coordinate nor a LookAt element.]]]>
