I see white and gold, vote for what you see.

Here's some info on the science behind it.

http://www.wired.com/2015/02/science-one-agrees-color-dress/

Quote:

Not since Monica Lewinsky was a White House intern has one blue dress been the source of so much consternation.

(And yes, it’s blue.)

The fact that a single image could polarize the entire Internet into two aggressive camps is, let’s face it, just another Thursday. But for the past half-day, people across social media have been arguing about whether a picture depicts a perfectly nice bodycon dress as blue with black lace fringe or white with gold lace fringe. And neither side will budge. This fight is about more than just social media—it’s about primal biology and the way human eyes and brains have evolved to see color in a sunlit world.

This thing is for real? I saw it and just assumed somebody out there was trolling everyone. ;-) I see white and gold, BTW, in the well-lit picture. As for the other picture, I see a white and gold dress in really poor lighting (yes I know it was photoshopped).

Now that I know the dress is actually black and blue in real life, it's easy to see it as black and blue in the top picture.  I can still see it as white and gold as well though.

It kind of reminds me of the spinning dancer thingy (http://psychology.about.com/od/sensationandperception/ig/Optical-Illusions/spinning-dancer-illusion.htm) and also those pictures that looked like nothing until you stared blankly into them and they turned into some cool 3d image.

Yep I can only get the top picture to look black and blue now.  A little bit white and gold I guess if I tilt the screen down.  Hehe.

Can't see the white and gold at all. Crazy that others can see that. My eyes only pick up blue and black.

I can see the debate on white or blue, but in no universe is that trim black.

Give it a few hours.  It will start to look that way for you.

I dunno, it's been an hour and it still not black. Blue and "something dark" sure, but certainly not black. Are you guys actually seeing blue and black in the first pic (the static one)???? I see blue and "something dark" in the pic that flashes back and forth, but the static pic is white and gold all the way.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Yeah I think that is a big part of it. Once I could see the blue and black, now I can't see anything but blue and black.

I only see white and gold. I can see some blue if I try to focus on the white only. No way that trim is anything but gold.

I see white and gold.  I can see where some of you see the blue instead of the white, but I can't see the black at all.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
