A New Year's Challenge

OK - this is super cool. A totally mystifying optical illusion.

I saw counter-clockwise at first, but stared at it for a little bit and, low and behold, it changed! This is a good trick for New Year's Eve. Bring the crowd over to stare at your screen. You'll be amazed that people actually start to argue about which way she is turning.

Leave me a comment and let me know which way you saw it spin.

Happy 2008!!

Brian and I both saw counter-clockwise. I never saw anything else, even after staring for a bit.

I saw it clockwise first. After staring a bit, I finally got it to change to counter clockwise. But it caught me off guard when it changed.

I saw it counter-clockwise first. Or, as they say, "anti-clockwise". Then after a while it change to clockwise, and now I can't see it the other way anymore........
