The Wellcome Trust Images
The Wellcome Library has a nice collection images that are available under Creative Commons 2.0., a license similar to the license that allows you to pilfer things from Abnormal Interests (full attribution, without commercial use and, in their case, without making derivatives). Most of the images have a distantly medical orientation. For example, the only image of a cuneiform tablet I could find was of a medical tablet.
I did find a couple great colored lithographs of the area around En Gedi. Here is one looking toward the Dead Sea over the monastery of St. Saba. It is by Louis Hage after David Roberts and was executed in 1843.
Click on the image to see a larger version.
Great stuff! Go find your favorite image.

And, no surprise, the tablet is displayed upside down
