    The symbol is certainly nothing new, there's one carved in a stone on Ilkley moor which is attributed to the bronze age:

    Fuck it.

    Re: Swastika buildings

    Wasn't there a forest planted during the 30's that was evergreens with deciduous trees planted within it in the shape of a swastika ? Got spotted early GoogleEarth days and trimmed to be de-nazified ?

    As to denver airport, I'd be more worried about the gruesome murals than the fecking runways. Some very strange symbolism in those for sure.

    Had to look that up:

    Story behind the swastika trees

    I'd have thought they'd have left it... suppose they are scared of it becoming metting place of neo-nazis?
    That's me in the middle...
