I tried printing out a copy of the image on our printer at home. Still looks pretty wild, but the snakes aren't moving. This looks like something that needs a photo quality printer.

Really great! Thanks for posting this Paul

Aw man I'm getting sick. It's my wallpaper now, and I can't look at it to change it!

Look at it out of the corner of your eye (that is singular, as in one eye) and you will be able to make the change without it making you heave.

Thanks Paul!

Thanks a bunch Paul, it made me so dizzy that I spilled coffee on my keyboard. Some things are just not meant for human eyes.

If you look directly at one of the circles it stops moving.

Admittedly I'm not stoned as I might well have been in the sixties, but for the life of me I can't see why you guys say it appears to be moving.

you're kidding. I looked at it well before my evening pinot noir, and could only make parts of it stop moving by staring at them intently.
Chuck, you must just have the sort of no-nonsense brain/eye connection that sees things as they really are.
