Hello Fedifriends, I need your help!

I've created a bot - @openbenches - which posts every time a new bench is uploaded to our website.

But, to test it, I need people to upload photos!

So, if you're out for a walk this Sunday, please snap a geotagged photo of any memorial benches you find, and upload them to https://openbenches.org/

Thanks!

I'm looking for latt/long for https://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/business/park-bench-dedication-in-canadas-capital & https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/city-manager-administration-and-policies/policies-and-administrative-structure/administrative-policies/commemorative-naming#section-5b4f8701-1098-4006-b8eb-34b4120170da

But really I suspect you want me to visit these places and take photos or something neat like that.

Well we have some here available as a CSV, but that's probably not good enough https://open.ottawa.ca/datasets/ottawa::benches/about

@mgifford Interesting! I should be able to add the locations from that data - and other people can add the photos.
But when I try to download, I get an error.
