One year of portal pictures

3605 #Ingress portal picture submissions within 365 days (4.1.2018).

Exactly one year ago I submitted this picture of the logo in front of the +QSC AG ‚s World-HQ as my first portal picture submission . I thought this „enlightened“ picture would be a valuable replacement for the existing picture.



After this - instead of posting daily food porn to Twitter or my fitgirl posings to Instagram -  I submitted almost daily my own view of the world‘s Ingress portals to my scanner. Mostly of Cologne, but also Greece, Canada and the USA.

Not every picture got accepted nor was every picture really good. But in the end I managed to get some keepers.

Here is a Flickr album with other examples:

Update 29.12.2018: Submitted portal picture count 4.865 - I lost a little of my productivity. Partly because I want to produce more quality but more because Niantic built up a huge backlog for picture reviews which took a lot of the fun out of the thing.

"Playing Ingress is about to boldly go a way which is sometimes a very, very badly chosen path. " ( +Attila Radnai ) . I spent this weekend at the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. The 65km-stretch of the Middle Rhine Valley is a part of the official UNESCO world heritage. With its more than 40 castles and fortresses, historic towns and vineyards, graphically illustrates the long history of human involvement with a dramatic and varied natural landscape. It is intimately associated with history and legend and for centuries has exercised a powerful influence on writers, artists, composers and exotic matter.

Portal Background: Flak Rondorf

My faith in Wayfarer reviews got restored a little bit: My submission for a historical anti aircraft gunsite got accepted (Flak Stellung Rondorf, Intel-Link ). ⁣⁣A bunch of Wayfinder submissions for „Zwischenfeldbauten“ - remnants of the Prussian fortification ring around Cologne - were declined beforehand. I submitted them while I had a guided tour with @andreasroland_alten a from CRIFA ( Cologne Research - Institute of Fortification Architecture ). These sites are rather unknown to the public, hidden in the woods from any sat view and have no information signs set up. So I wasn’t really surprised when one after another site got declined. Not surprised, but still a little bit disappointed (more about this tour is covered in this German blogpost ).
