This page shows a larger set of photos distributed in the Ubuntu calendar packages as described in Ubuntu Warty visual theme.
Note: these images were largely distributed after the images were no longer set as the default background for Ubuntu. They were therefore an opt-in Ubuntu feature. They were however, packaged and distributed in the main (core Ubuntu) archive by employed Canonical staff members.
Although the images are no longer available in Ubuntu's current versions, they are accessible (along with all other material ever included in Ubuntu) on an archive of discontinued Ubuntu releases.
The images shown here are the normal proportion images, the package also contain wider-screen versions of the same images, with the backgrounds extended into a wider aspect ratio.

Visual description: three adults are shown photographed from directly above. They are in a circle each holding the upper arms of the other two. All three are looking directly up at the camera and smiling. Their heads and arms roughly mimic the shape of the Ubuntu logo.
Clockwise from top: a pale-skinned woman with pale hair looks up at the camera. She is in an orange tank-top. Her lower body cannot be seen at all.
A dark-skinned woman looks up at the camera. She is in a black bra. Underneath it, her bare abdomen and the top of her pants can be seen.
A pale-skinned man with extremely closely cropped hair looks up at the camera. His bare abdomen and the top of his pants can be seen.

Visual description: three adults are shown, all appear to be naked.
On the left is a dark-skinned woman with dark hair pulled back, shown right-side on from the upper chest up. Her arm is raised to rest on the shoulder and arm of the man next to her. She is looking into the centre of the image and smiling broadly.
In the centre is a pale-skinned man. Most of his torso is shown. His hands are crossed in front of his chest obscuring his left nipple but not the right. He is looking towards but down from the camera and smiling broadly.
On the right is a pale-skinned woman with loose pale hair around her shoulders. Her chest is pointing towards the camera and her arms are by her side, however her breasts are obscured by an "Ubuntu" logo. She is looking over her right shoulder at the other two people and either smiling or laughing.
