I suggest searching at Flickr and G+ for photos. There should be lots.
I have some, I know Jonathan does, and there are others as well.

Too bad about the facebook feed. But that button shouldn't float
around in odd places. It should be stuck where you want it in your
design.

I suggest writing to the user list for images and/or banners if nobody
here speaks up. Keep in mind many of the devels are at FOSDEM this
weekend.

I'm very surprised by the feature tour - where did you get those
images? Some are *ancient*.
