We decided to run a photo contest and asked our Facebook fans to send us their best photos of Israel. Our mailbox was filled with amazing pictures. We posted three finalists to our Facebook page and asked our audience to vote in Facebook ‘Likes’ for the winner.

Laurie B. took this photo on her trip to Israel. You are looking towards the Dead Sea through an opening in the rocks of Masada. Upon seeing it, one of our readers commented, “From darkness to light! Awesome.” She is our winner with 3,948 Facebook ‘Likes’!
