Original – The Scorpion Pass, a winding road in southern Israel
Reason
The image is the best photograph of the Scorpion Pass (Ma'aleh Akrabim) in southern Israel. It displays the pass in its entirety, but does not have any unnecessary details. In addition, the image was taken from the air and in reasonably high quality, creating a wow effect. It has primary encyclopedic value for Route 227 (Israel), but also for other articles (not necessarily used at this point), such as Operation Lot and Combat Engineering Corps. The image was also a finalist in the Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 competition.

Since we're talking about a minor blemish and not color correction etc., I have taken the liberty to remove the spot without uploading the image under a different name. —Ynhockey (Talk) 21:36, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
