Pyramids of Deutz

Pyramids are majestic and mystical structures. Consisting of 6 triangles (4 at the sides, 2 joint at the square base) they surely are the favorite shape of any #Ingress agent.



I knew about the pyramids of Egypt or Mexiko. But I didn't knew there is one right in the middle of the German City of Cologne. After we found out, we planned our urban expedition to explore this awesome thing as carefully as any of my operations:

We found a date to meet, exchanged GPS coordinates, went there and climbed up to the top. That's all.


No spectacular #wheredidingresstakeyoutoday backgroundstory or a fullgrown #sitrep. Just just some pictures to express my ongoing exitement about this game, that lures me into the areas in between the street grid that I usually use to get from A to B.

And please - if you accidentally discover the top secret Enlightened Headquarter of Cologne on a pictures - please handle this information confidentially. Just as the information that there were actually more than 16 agents involved and that we filled the heart of the city quarter Deutz with glorius green level 8 portals and had a great fracker party just near the pyramid. There no reason to disclose this secret part of our operation. #OpSec - you know the drill.

"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.

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 ).
