Tourism, then and now

Paul from Levin

The Japanese are getting annoyed by the impacts of high numbers of tourists in their daily environment and yesterday I heard that the daily number of people allowed to climb Mt Fuji is going to be limited. I don't remember the number currently climbing each day but it amounted to many thousands causing predictable harm to the environment.

I took these two photos when I climbed the mountain in 1960.
The zig-zag trip up, and the gravelly sliding way down

Ashleigh from The Neighbourly Riddler

I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
