Benches

A map of the UK and Northern Ireland composed entire of black dots where public benches are. City centres are clearly visible, as aside from the much of Scotland, the coastline is clearly defined — Benches: The English love to sit by sea. The Scots, not so much. Made for day 15 - OpenStreetMap - of the 2023 #30DayMapChallenge
