[talk-au] Bus shelter artwork

[Sam Wilson]

You could upload the photos to Wikimedia Commons, then use the various
tools (like https://toolserver.org/~para/GeoCommons/ for example) to view
the photos. This would pull the location info from Commons and not OSM
though. If you geocode the images before upload, and then upload with
Commonist, the correct coord template is inserted.

For example, I'm starting to upload a bunch of old photos of Fremantle
(starting the workflow in DigiKam for geocoding):
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=http:%2F%2Ftools.wikimedia.de%2F~para%2FGeoCommons%2FGeoCommons-simple.kml&ll=-32.065028,115.7536&spn=0.002964,0.006539&t=m&z=18

(Not that I usually use Google maps for much!)
