Salzkotten




At 05.05.2018 we built a big #Ingress field as a collaboration of Dutch and German agents. It yielded 1,6M MU for each of its 19 layers. Official #sitrep is still to come, but here are the first impressions of my tour. Agent +Malte Kremer and I are both into photography and we used our assignment as cleaners around the city of Salzkotten to take some pictures. His pictures can be found here: https://goo.gl/T3wJEg .

Therefore our usual ingress covered ops gear (scanner, powerbank and headset) has been joined by tripods and our mirrorless cams. So we could take pictures of the landmarkes we passed. The coolest place was the site where we could see the remants of the main local industry. The name Salzkotten (English: Salt cottage) is based on the former salt production, which gave Salzkotten its raison d'être. Salt was found in the salty springs around the city.

Why they chose to illuminate their river with green lights? We don't know. But als Enlightened agents we didn't mind at all. And now I'm going to drink a lot. For some reason, I became very, very thirsty...

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 ).

Starburst Cologne 2018

Bild
Operation summary Type: Starburst with 203 Links Place: Cologne, Germany Time: 06.10.2018, around 11:00 CET MU gained: none, as with any starburst “In October the earth will be moving through a swarm of meteorites left by the comet P21/Giacobini-Zinner. As these meteorites burn up in the atmosphere they will create shooting stars! There is no better moment to let starbursts bloom."  (Scientific background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVHU8K4enPg ) Agent and #Ingress vanguard +Claudi Ja contacted the Enlightened communities with the idea to celebrate the Draconiden meteorits shower. This proposal resonated in many #Ingress communities. Wordwide over 100 green stars lit up our world (global sitrep: https://plus.google.com/+ClaudiJa/posts/E8DHtuHGpdj ) . In combination with the stardust of the meteor, which our planet was crossing, they produced an exceptionally enormous amount XM that surely helped mankind to evolve further to a higher level.
