Do you guys have any personal favorite POIs or Wayspots that you always enjoy seeing the postcards from, or ones that you feel proud of having submitted?
I noticed that most of my favorites are either resturaunts or art. My all time favorite submission I did is probably the Oasis Vegetarian Cafe because it’s my favorite resturaunt in Riverside:
And then more recently I got this Parrot Art at the beach which I just think looks neat:
Oh, those are both really cool! I like the colors in the second one a lot.
It is difficult to find favourites but here are 2 very different ones
Mine is this one, not because it is that amazing, but because it is so hard to see despite being in plain sight. I always think that everyone who walks past it simply won’t notice it exists. Probably the only reason I saw it is because of wayfarer - I now automatically scan around me see if there is anything interesting. I think it’s around 8 inches high.
Hey now! There’s more backstory to that piano! I saw a guy playing it on YouTube and looked it up to see if it was a Wayspot. Since it wasn’t, i sent you the information about it. I’m pretty sure you nominated it on your way to GO Fest one summer, or maybe it was a trip for an Ingress meet-up. Either way, you were on your way to play games with other ambos.
I love when there are Wayfarer collaborations from across the globe. We see something that should be a Wayspot and we alert a Wayfinder (relatively) nearby to go make it happen.
That is a neat one, I think you guys in Europe and the UK are really lucky with how much old cool stuff there is. Definitely less historical stuff here in America, although I have seen some neat old Native American Pictographs and Rock Paintings that some people have submitted out in the Desert or more rural areas of California.
Some of them are kind of like your example where one might not even notice them if they weren’t a Wayspot that they could see in game, which is interesting to think about how we can actually get people to be aware of stuff they otherwise would overlook.
This is all true. I was on my way to Hamburg under instruction to submit.i had to get the person who was taking a break from playing to move for the picture. 
I mean a piano with its own wiki page has to go in. There are quite a few of these now scattered around train and underground stations.
Woah, those are awesome! I’m partial to beach ones so I really like that one, but the Lightbulb Box would make a great postcard with a lot of the Electric Pokémon Stickers in Go.
Edit: I just realized after zooming in that that’s not a beach in the second one, are those solar panels that I mistook for water? That’s really interesting.
Edit #2 lol: Reading about Pedra de Lume after putting it into a search engine, I’d never heard of that place before. That’s a really cool one.
What exactly is that and why is it eligible? I’m asking because there’s one nearby that’s not yet a POI and obviously if it’s worthy I’ll nominate it.
It is a Ordnance Survey Benchmark from around the 1920-1930s, made from brass with the insignia and crown of GR at the top, which is King George V, the same as you will find on UK postboxes of the same era.
They are rare now (much more rare than the postboxes) and I have come across a total of three. They were made from a mould with a slot to insert the actual height in feet and inches, but obviously the insert has long been lost.
The concrete ones from the 1950s-1960s are not valuable, because they are much more common, crumbling and not remotely interesting.
There is a map of all of them, which doesn’t distinguish between the brass ones and the concrete ones - search for “ordnance survey benchmark GR” and go to the OS Benchmark archive.
I found a group noticing the one closer to me and stopped to tell them about it, which they were interested about 
Thank you for that.
I’m sorry to correct you but that isn’t an OS marker. It has an arrow, yes, but it is not a survey post. They are detailed here: https://gpo-markers.derektp.co.uk
The “arrow” symbols that had misdirected me to an Ordnance Survey link are in fact a much more generic indicator of Government (originally Crown) ownership. The “broad arrow”, as it is called, dates from the 17th century and it remains illegal to reproduce the symbol on any goods without permission. You’ll find the broad arrow not only on Ordnance Survey artefacts, but also in other settings too - as in the prison uniforms of old.
I am happy to be corrected when I am wrong
Looking again at various websites, I am not alone in making that mistake.
@elwyngreygoose please look at the site that @tomwe listed as it is better to be correct.
Ah that explains why I cannot find it in the OS archive!
Yep the only salt lake in a volcanic crater!
