Rotterdam-West - Rotterdam (Netherlands)

RTD_15 [20 points]

Another new but old space invader in Rotterdam. This black one with a red reflector in the middle was presumed 'dead' for years but in fact it was hidden safely behind a billboard which have been removed recently. It was already considered 'lost' by Invader as RTD_17 had to be re-activated again in the online application game FlashInvaders.

I accompanied JoeTheCrab with 'flashing' all active space invaders in Rotterdam (8) and Amsterdam (9). It was lots of fun all the way along the space invaders. Re-activating RTD_17 was part of the tour. And this one was new for me as well.

THE INVASION OF ROTTERDAM

In the year 2001 the city of Rotterdam has been invaded by Invader. In 4 days Invader put 26 space invaders (1 hidden bonus) on the walls of Rotterdam. Sometimes hidden sometimes on very visible locations. I took some photos earlier but never put them on Flickr. Eight of the in total 25 space invader are still 'active' in 2015. Two were deleted in 2014 and 2 old new ones came back active (one re-activation and one became visible again due to the removal of a small billboard where it was hidden behind). Rotterdam was the 8th invaded city in the world.
