Mowed into this field in Canada is a large equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, of a design that has been shown to arise independently in any basket-weaving society. In other words, a 30 metre-wide Swastika.

Despite the very innocent Swastika symbol having been around longer than civilisation itself, these days the symbol has been almost exclusively associated with the Nazi Party, ever since they adopted it as their logo in the 1920s. Given that the symbol in this field is contained within a circle (the actual Nazi symbol is in a circle and set at a 45° angle), the likelihood is that this was indeed created by some nasty Neo-Nazis hoping to promote their evil cause.

Unfortunately for our inept villains, they’ve drawn it with the arms of the symbol left-facing, which despite having plenty of historical precedent is incorrect, as the Nazi swastika had right-facing arms, even on the rear side of their flag.

Previously on Google Sightseeing we’ve seen an unintentional Swastika building, a Swastika fountain and some Dutch neo-nazis who were equally incapable of getting simple shapes the right way round.

It appears that an English-speaking inhabitant of the German city of Duisburg has decided to profess his love for a person or persons unknown, who was presumably due to pass this way in some sort of flying mode of transport.

Time and time again on Google Sightseeing, we have seen that the fields of spelling, grammar and large-scale skyward-directed professions-of-love are failing to find much common ground – in this case however, the message additionally fails to have the desired impact thanks to our artist’s truly appalling typographical layout.

The arrangement of words is so bad in fact, that the message reads “I come ♥ back U”, and to make matters worse, is then followed by a botched attempt to write “I ♥ U”, which is being pointed out by an inexplicable arrow.

If I have understood his garbled message correctly, it seems our poor Romeo is actually trying to win his Juliet back.

Awww. Not with typography like that mate!

Where would you expect to find the world’s largest illuminated advertisement? With my years of experience in completely-useless “World’s largest” facts, I would definitely assume it would be in America, perhaps in Times Square or maybe Las Vegas.

But I would, of course, be wrong. The largest illuminated advertisement in the world is found in the German city of Leverkusen, and is known as the Bayer Cross.

The 51 m diameter logo advertises the German chemical company Bayer AG, which has also given the world aspirin, heroin and methadone. Hanging between two 118 m steel towers, the 300 tonne advert has held its world record since 1958. Unfortunately, the giant logo fails to cast an appreciable shadow.

Nevermind, the logo is again represented at the company headquarters, this time flat on the ground.

Read more about Bayer at Wikipedia and see the giant advert at Flickr.

Is that… the word “SLUT” carved into the ground of Nova Scotia?

On closer examination it becomes clear that the “S” is actually a tree shadow – but the remaining letters look to be formed by the shapes of three small ponds.

Since “LUT” doesn’t make a lot of sense, what if the “L” were actually a “C”? Why on Earth would anyone have built three ponds in the shape of the letters of the word “CUT”?

The proof is now clear for all to see – Jesus was a cowboy! As demonstrated by this ridiculously large example of Pareidolia in the Australian Outback.

These images have been colour-adjusted for clarity

Actually, you’re not just seeing things, this is in fact Mundi Man, and not only is he really there, but he might just be the world’s largest work of art. The vision of an artist known as “Ando“, he covers a staggering 4 million square metres – meaning that his smile alone is as wide as the Empire State Building is tall!

The image of an anonymous “stockman” (an Australian cowboy) was chosen to represent those who pioneered the Outback plains of Australia. Unfortunately, it seems that whatever method Ando used to put our cheery-looking cowboy here hasn’t lasted too well, as he seems to be slowly fading away into the desert…
