From a pool of thousands, 15 photographic wallpapers have been chosen for inclusion in Ubuntu 12.04.

As with previous releases, the submissions were picked through an open contest run on social networking site Flickr.

The default wallpaper for Ubuntu 12.04, which will, once again, be an iterative update to the current ‘purple salad’ wallpaper, is expected to land ahead of Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 next week.
