The picture reminded me of Tom Holt's fantasy novel Here Comees the Sun. From the blurb on the back of the UK paperback edition:
The sun rises late, dirty and so badly in need of a service it's a wonder it gets up at all. The moon's going to be scrapped soon and a new one commissioned -- but then again, they've been saying that for years...
Maybe they've finally gotten around to replacing the clapped-out old banger?
I remember seeing that as the optical illusion of the day on my google homepage a few days ago. They may have more info on it at http://www.moillusions.com/
Looks like I'm a bit late for the party ;-) This is my picture. And it's copyright protected... It was shot in Muri, Bern, Switzerland and shows a small portion of the alps with the famous peaks Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau.
Very nice effect. Do you know what mountain range is in the background? It's really beautiful.
This is false advertising, Steve. The crane is NOT actually lifting the moon! :(

I wasn't trying. I just was. ;)
