Yes - it
might look like you should be able to get there, but
you can't. For example:
- the roof of "The Off
Licence";
- the top ledges in "At the foot of the MegaTree"
and "Under the MegaTree";
- the platforms in
"Entrance to Hades";
- the right half of "A bit of tree"
without the official Software Projects poke for the
Banyan Tree :-)
- the clouds on the left of
"GIACHASSE" in We Pretty.
(I don't list unreachable
rooms as Forbidden Holy Ground because you can't see
them without cheating.)
Forbidden Holy Ground
has an intriguing air of mystique about it,
especially if you don't know whether it is, in fact, a
Promised Land effect instead! :-)

Good idea,
to illustrate the various points.

Geoff Eddy is a master
of the Promised Land effect, as is Philip Bee. I got
some good Promised Land effects into We Pretty as
well! :-)
