This is a very early portal, possibly predating public access to Ingress.

Since that time, Google, at least for the Silicon Valley offices, appears to letting the various fountains (soooo many fountains!), go dry, and in many places, repurposing them. We are in a semi-desert dealing with years long droughts, so this make sense.

In particular, this particular fountain has been filled in with dirt and plants, though the concrete basin still exists. Hopefully this can been seen in the images below.

For easy verification, I tried to get the same view, but as the original image (the first), is quite old, there has been a lot of other landscaping as well, so not easy to do.

NOTE: I have a handful of these removals in this area. Some were approved, some rejected, some not yet submitted. I will probably copy-and-paste much of the commentary above in further appeals.

Thanks for the appeal, @nexushoratio. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question.
