While I agree that the image is visually appealing, I still dispute that it
is suitable for representing OSM on our main "about" page. We do have lots
of lots of OSM-related images and different maps based on OSM to choose 4
images from (e.g. the images of the week), we really shouldn't use
proprietary imagery from Mapquest or unrelated srtm data and NASA imagery
for this scope.

cheers,
Martin
