A quick and dirty untested shell script:

#!/bin/bash
WALLFILE=images_wall.html
LOGFILE=/var/log/squid/access.log
NB_IMG=50
SLEEP=10
while :
  do
    echo "<HTML>" > $WALLFILE.tmp
    echo " <HEADER>" >> $WALLFILE.tmp
    echo "  <TITLE>Images Wall</TITLE>" >> $WALLFILE.tmp
    echo "  <META HTTP-EQUIV='REFRESH' CONTENT='$SLEEP'>" >> $WALLFILE.tmp
    echo " </HEADER>" >> $WALLFILE.tmp
    echo " <BODY>" >> $WALLFILE.tmp
    awk ' { print $7 } ' $LOGFILE |
      grep "jpg$\|gif$" |
        tail -$NB_IMG |
          while read URL
            do
              echo "  <IMG SRC='$URL'>" >> $WALLFILE.tmp
            done
    echo " </BODY>" >> $WALLFILE.tmp
    echo "</HTML>" >> $WALLFILE.tmp
    mv -f $WALLFILE.tmp $WALLFILE
    sleep $SLEEP
  done

Needs to be adapted to your access log format (the $7 in awk is the 7th (url) 
column in the logfile lines)...
You can also put it in cron and remove the main while loop and the sleep.
