I can not see anything interesting in this view as the reason to be wayspot.

Edited my initial post to show last wayspot photo.

I mean, it looks like it’s just a sticker.

I do somewhat agree that this may have just been stuck to the side of the building. It’s also the fire flower power-up from the Super Mario Bros franchise, and just doing a Google Lens search, there are many similar, if not the same, results that come up.

@lambochien I think a better photo needs to be provided, not one from Street View, to show that this is in fact art that was placed there on purpose, as I can also see it as being placed without permission, possibly being vandalism. If there’s a known artist or part of an art installation in the area, providing that info would be helpful as well.

Whilst it appears on Streetview and is appears on a House of multiple occupancy, I don’t think this should be accepted, but I’ll leave it to Niantic Staff to decide.

Thanks for the appeal, @lambochien We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire this Wayspot.

They just created a new thread with better photos.

It does appear to be made of actual tiles, but I was seeing these being sold online when I did an image search of the original image posted here.
