The drawing is wrong. If you flip the left drawing to match x, y axis of the right, you will find the z axis is rotating in the same direction as the right drawing. So, either the direction of rotation is wrong or x, y axis labeling is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.32.3 (talkcontribs) 20:25, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say this image is a nice real world example of a Reversible figure: without any reference frame, the brain has two plausible ways to interpret the figure, neither being more correct than the other. Which in turn tells us that the image tells us nothing, at least not for certain. I guess we should come up with a way to add visual reference frame to that image in some way. — Martin von Gagern (talk) 21:18, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
