Which way is the lady turning?

Double click the image to view the animation


This animation had Rose and I talking for a while. Is the woman turning clockwise or anticlockwise? Or both? It seems to all be part of whether we are left or right brain dominant, and is something I found on Dan Harlow's blog, where the comments on his original post seem to have a lot to say. Looking at the moving image at exactly the same time, we both saw it moving in opposite directions. Me of the right-brain, she of the left.
