Price Sicardsure pointed this questionable Google Earth location. You can find it yourself; just point Google Earth/Google Maps to: 32°40'44.16"N with 117° 9'42.89"W. Consider this as an interesting assignment, that will also try and teach you how to read geographical latitudes and longitudes. Google them if you don't understand what they are... In short, these numbers represent co-ordinates of the certain, Earth location. I'm sure most of you already knew that, but remember there are many kids browsing this website everyday, and some of them weren't yet introudced to this stuff.
Image below can be found as an illusion (coincidence?), or provocation done on purpose. As you might know, Swastika once represented the symbol of life and fortune in Hindu holly books - Vedas. Later it was adopted as Nazi symbol, representing horrible deeds and "visions" of Hitler. Recently, Hindus in Britain have started a campaign to 'redeem' the swastika from its Nazi past and reclaim it as the symbol of life and fortune it once was. I'm little sceptic on the results, but we'll see... Allegedly, there was even a picture of a secret Swastika-forrest circulating the net. If you know the link and the story behind it, be sure to post it! Price Sicardsure also wrote: "I think this is the Navy SEAL training place!" (USA)
It bothers me to see things like this, but I can't deny that this is a part of history. A darker part of history, but it's still a part of it. For anyone who is curious, here is a website that shows the Swastika forest:
But for the image that is shown on this page, when I checked the coordinates, it is in the US, but it's only showing a spot in the water.

The Hindu swastika and the Nazi swastika go in oposite directions....that is the Nazi Swastika but if it went CCW it would be the Hindu one.

Good ol' US of A. The coordinants were close enough that it didn't take to long to find it. Once you know where it is, it sticks out like sore thumb. You can see it from an eye altitude of about 25,000 feet. The picture in this post is about 4000 feet.

It's a practical design for a building, too bad it represents what it represents. Yes, I DID find it, it's located in Coronado, San Diego (US), 1.4 miles southeast from the Coronado mark in Google Earth. Curious, look at the jet-ski's wandering around on the water there: About another mile southeast from the building, there's one doing 8's. I don't know what it can be, but if you look at it, it looks like it projects a shade over the water (a couple of yards north) so it looks like it's above the surface...
I discovered this image a while ago and posted it on my website. The city is San Diego.

Actually, 4 seperate buildings, it's enlisted quarters at the Naval base on Coronado.
Nico
There are also four college dorms on the campus of the University of California Santa Barbara that are shaped like swastikas. I know -- I lived in one of them!
Nicco
Another intresting thing to notice, and this was made on purpose. To the bottom left of the picture, there are two buildings made to look like bomber planes, headed for the nazi building.
If you'd like to learn what the Navy had to say about the construction of this cluster of buildings, you can find it here.

Yes it looks like a swastika, but we shouldn't freak out! The swastika was a sacred native american symbol berfore the nazis ruined it!

oh no! the navy seals are nazis? they keep inside the Hitler frozen body? like Walt Disney? like Cher? in facts, are they friends? really? what happend en in that place? what terrible thing they prepare? Kosher BBQ?

Just to add Hitler, understood about reverse Symbology. Quite right, the hindu holy symbol is a reverse of how hitlar used it. Just the same way as the media and the illuminati say one thing and do another .black is white and so on........
it jus looks lyk the swastika because of the angle of the camera!!!!! If the camera andgle was slightly different, then it would look lyk a hindu symbol!!!!!!!!!!!!! DDDDUUURRRR
the building was built in 1917. 30 years before WWII. it is the enlisted soldiers building at the naval facility in coronado, ca.
kzx
Very interesting...
and woteva, actually, the camera angle has nothing to do with it. The hindu symbol is reversed, meaning you'd have to be underground, looking up at it, for it to be a hindu symbol. But once again, very interesting.
Pat
What's nice with that architecture, it that everone on every part of the building has view on a little piece of garden. if you add all sides (every walls), you get much more than if it was a square building.

I KNEW HITLERS DEATH WAS A HOAX!!! HES STILL PLOTTING WORLD CONQUEST I TELL YOU!!!
obviously not a lot of people know that the swas tika is hindu. when it points clockwise and is square shaped not diamond shaped it's the hindu symbol.....idiots. the germans got that sign from the hindus a long time ago and the native americans of south america also used this symbol. our symbol also has four dots, one in each square

below it you can see a cross

OK Its pretty simple. Regardless of the internet behind the construction of this building, the symbol is A nazi swastika and was constructed in 1967-1969(http://www.thepowerhour.com/news2/navy_response_letter.htm) on A US military base. The problem with this is that is sends the wrong message to the other nations around the world who might question our intent. Clearly no one in those buildings of on that navy base is a Nazi but it might send the wrong message to young impressionable men who train there and at military bases across the country. I would be no big deal to change it so it isn't Nazi. heck lets make it into the Hindu symbol.
I garantie you there are scum bag Nazis in America( they have big rally every now and then, you know the KKK) and they will see this as a sign that the "Nazi dream is still alive".

hah, the nazi-symbol originates in the scandinavian sun-cross viking-symbol

Does someone know where it REALLY originated from, with perhaps a website of facts?? I've heard it originates from hindu, scandinavian, and native american holy symbols... Where did the nazi swastika really come from?

Here's another one: 52°20'53.48"N 4°49'32.46"O. I think Swastika shaped buildings are quite common this hospital was built in Amsterdam in 1975. Only fools will see this as a sign that the "Nazi dream is still alive".

hey guys its a swastik am a hindu ask me.Its not a nazi's symbol nazi had a symbol opposite to the swastik so got it.ty
while it wouldn't shock me if this building was purposefully designed as a swastika, i seriously doubt it.....considering it isn't a swastika at all. beyond the fact that. if it were done on purpose by anyone it was probably pre world war-II german catholics. if this were made to be a swastika the architect would have tilted it at a 45 degree angle. if you change the position of the symbol it radically changes meaning and i'm sure it would have been tilted against the water if it were made by nazis, since that is how they made other swastika shaped buildings. sorry folks, but you are all making a big deal out of nothing

FYI, before you lay out incorrect facts, the Hindu symbol and the Nazi swastika are not the same thing. They go in opposite directions of each other. And you are correct: the Hindu symbol means does good fortune, unlike the swastika.
The swastika is the oldest recorded symbol known to man. If you doubt this, please visit this site for some background on the subject. It is far from all inclusive, but offers a small amount of info on what is a very complex historical subject: http://history1900s.about.com/cs/swastika/a/swastikahistory.htm
The Swastika is symbolic of nature and life.
The center "+" is symbolic of the Sun and the rays eminating from it. As most of you know, the Sun and its' rays are a central theme to the ways of life on Earth. Without the radiant light, heat and energy fed to us from the Sun and its' rays, all life on Earth would cease to exist as we know it.
This is why the "+" was chosen as the core of the swastika. It has both a center and shows evenly distributed outward growth from that point on.
The four "arms" attached to the "+" are symbolic of the four seasons i.e. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. If you notice, the four arms are always rotating clockwise, as the four seasons rotate as time passes. All four seasons are based on the light energy derived from the Sun, hence the seasonal rotation "arms" being directly tied to the core symbol representing the Sun.
If you notice, those "arms" are somewhat "boxed in". In effect, the life force is not only relatively well contained, but also self-sustaining.
Having said that, there are other factors involved. This is why there are also gaps within the swastika. This allows energies from within the core to balance the energies outside of the core.
This helps to maintain a proper balance, with balance being a vital component of nature and sustained life cycles. So long as all forms of influence, both outside and inside, are kept within reason, the rotational life cycle continues on with its natural progression.
Any "swastica" that rotates counter-clockwise isn't really a swastika at all, as it isn't rotating in the correct direction. It is a corruption of what is a very revered symbol by those that know the true meaning of a swastika.
It is for the aforementioned reasons that various groups have tried to use the swastika as a symbol of their group or movement. Just as the swastika represents what is a natural renewal of a robust and vigorous self-sustaining life cycle, they sought those same characteristics for their goals and ideals.
Obviously, some of these goals or ideals are controversial, but then again, so is the very nature of the origin of the swastika.
Nico is incorrect about the college campus buildings. They are only shaped like pieces of a possible swastika. Not quite but close. 34°24'35.68"N 119°50'35.62"W should show you on Google Earth.

Hi...for the person below...The Hindu Symbol is opposite. The top line going to the left not the right. That is the Nazi Swastika.

I think they did that on purpose.
Native americans also use the symbol meaning sun
I thought this is an illusion website. This is not an illusion guys.>!
I have heard the Hindus also used the counter-clockwise swastika... and for them it was a symbol of evil even before Hitler used it.
