Earlier this week, an Australian resident decided to down a tall tree in front of their property, giving them a better view of the nearby Sydney harbor. In response, their town erected a tall sign advising residents against getting into landscaping on public property.
The sign went viral, and people around the world praised Australia for its petty but effective solution.
Check out a photo of that sign and other fascinating pictures from around the world this week.
