There are just so many questions, it is obviously some sort of performance but what, where, when, why?

Actually, it's from an annual event in the former SSR Ukraine, at Koktebel, called Neptune Day, where people get painted and dress up with various weapons; on the bluff above the beach they always do a little posing like this. My only picture of an archer is over 5MB, so I'd never get it uploaded before timing out, but here are a couple with sword instead, from the same event though not necessarily the same year. There's plenty of other stuff here about the event, though it focuses more on the painting and pageant aspect; search for Koktebel and Neptune. Oh, and since my two aren't very WTF, here's one a hint more so...
