Tourists Poke Holes in Mount Fuji Photo Barrier
TL;DR
The town of Fujikawaguchiko in Japan installed a large black screen to prevent tourists from overcrowding the area to photograph Mount Fuji. Shortly after installation, officials found around 10 holes in the screen, all at eye level and sized for camera lenses. The town spent $8,285 on the screen, which has helped reduce congestion despite the damage.
