Can you see which way the Optical Spy Wind Turbine is turning?
The top seems to be turn the opposite way to the bottom! If you don't see this straight away keep looking at the bottom it will eventually come. The more persistent of you will actually be able to see the top going one way and the bottom going the other way both at the same time, that's not easy. Congratulations if you can do it, you truly are an Optical Spy! Let me know how you got on.

I can't see what you do, to me the top and bottom always appear to be turning the same way as each other.

However instead the whole thing appears to reverse direction spontaneously every few seconds. I think this is due to whether what angle you consider yourself to be looking at it. From below it's turning in one direction, from above the opposite. As such it reminds me of the famous Neckar cube which has the same kind of ambiguity only yours is more interesting since it's dynamic.
