The crowbar/headcrab image is a reference to the game Half-Life.
I posted the image of people on stilts to spydentify to see if anybody there knows what it is:

Wüstenrot, Germany
@gordon freeman: This is in Vienna, Austria. Wüstenrot is a company :)
the last is made by Genevieve Gauckler :

The colourful moon image is by Neil Carboni http://ncarboni.home.att.net/Astrophotography.html
(I saw it the other day on the venerable APOD, here: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060907.html)
I hadn't really thought, until now, about how odd it is that the moon seems to be a completely monochrome world. What the picture shows is, in fact, the slight variations in colour exaggerated.
The forked Volkswagen is a part of the Royal Deluxe (google it) performance in Iceland.
My photo of the same car:

The location is Madrid and the group is strange fruit. An australian street theater group. The performance is called "on the field" I see it and I liked a lot
great info, thanks - updated the page.
