Google Image Search's Loading Animation
Google Image Search shows an animation below the search result's thumbnail while the original image is downloaded. As you probably **ticed, Google first shows the thumbnail, which is already loaded as part of the search results page, then it replaces the thumbnail with the full-size image when you click a result.
Update: This is **t a new feature. Thanks, +Sushubh Mittal (http://plus.google.com/110423635538170952817).

The animation is especially useful for large images, since you may have to wait a few seconds until the images are downloaded. Here's an example (https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1275&bih=751&q=venice&oq=venice&gs_l=img.3..0l10.3859.4687.0.5047.6.6.0.0.0.0.156. 796.0j6.6.0....0...1ac.1.32.img..0.6.796.HLykuSDe9 XI#q=venice&tbm=isch&tbs=isz:lt,islt:10mp&facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=-zkODWA2oho2GM%3A%3BO26sFvxcqQzDKM%3Bhttp%253A%252F %252Fwww.chrystal-clear.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F06%252FItaly-Venice-Vaporetto-2-44.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.chrystal-clear.com%252F2012%252F06%252Fphoto-diary-the-2-vaporetto-in-venice%252F%3B4000%3B3000) and here's the animation:
