It's a fast food drive thru "mural" taken at an odd angle, through a car window, in the rain.
Car window shots were fair game until I think 2016-2017.
They were being rejected in 2013, by most reviewers, but some got let through by bad reviews.
2016 was when OPR came out and player reviews have never allowed car shots.
My nomination is Cyborg Squid Troll: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=37.899056,-122.509121
Somebody tied some **** to a power pole stay and then misplaced it so that it was in front of their house. That's my best guess, at least-- it's been a portal since at 2014 and I've been to it several times. I have never actually seen the supposed troll.
Looks like Halloween decor
My favorite was called "duck decoy" - the photo was literally a life sized decoy mallard duck sitting in the middle of a lawn. I reported it as invalid, and it was quickly removed from the portal network... unfortunately, so was the key, so I no longer have a photo.
I always show this one to the newbies as the worst portal in my city
I started playing more recently. In my town I had (easily) 100+ horrible quality car window shots (I have replaced nearly all of them now but some still need extra votes)
The one player (*REDACTED*) submitted so much garbage it is now unbelievable (the late night car shots are legendary for their suck)
And that’s not even getting into the 100+ location edits, title edits (misspellings etc) and just wrong description he uploaded.
Oh, we could start a whole "horrible photos" thread!
Some of the early players in my area were often active at night, and many of our portals had photos like this one (until we submitted new ones). It seemed like every photo had to be taken in the dark, through a windshield, with bug smears, and with the subject out of focus. Actually, now that I think about it this is a bad example, they cleaned the grease off of their camera lens first...
What's funnier is that many of the bad photos have a good number of 👍
That photo isn't really bad compared to the days of seeing photos from car windows while people were driving.
Like this one? lol
I meant to go fix it, but drove right past and forgot about it lol
I have so many questions about this one:
One look at that portal and I lost the ability to even form a question ...
My personal favorite one was "General Winter's Permanent Stronghold", which was a literal pile of snow outside a skating rink.
