[b]ADDED[/b] [i]The below image is static, only the colors change. The base image is an anomalous motion optical illusion. When we add the changing color to the mix it is very hard not to believe that the image itself is not moving. What do you think?

Black lines are commonly used to enhance colors in applications like stained glass. This tactic creates a certain effect, as shown below, and prevents color clashing. Notice that the drawing on the left colors appear significantly brighter and pure.

Try staring at this for more than 5 seconds without going crazy. Then try following it round! Curves constantly die out and then re-evolve as part of another curve.

You should see the picture 'waving' in an incredible way. [img]http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/2900/sakuras2bam6.png[/img] All of the red lines are completely parallel would you believe?

However, if you follow the yellow dots round instead, the whole wheel will be turning the other way! - clockwise!
