What could you achieve if you combine a large quantity of paint and some huge rocks? In Morrocco's case, the net result of Jean Verame's creative outpourings - Les Pierres Bleues (The Blue Rocks) near Tafraoute.

In 1984 the Belgian artist and a team of Morroccan firemen teamed up to create one of the most unusual art installation pieces on the face of the planet. Armed with 18 tonnes of blue, red, violet and white paint, they sprayed it all over the granite boulders and small hills of the Anti-Atlas mountains over the course of three months.

Fortunately, King Hassan II thought it was a good idea, so it looks like they are there to stay until the paint wears off. Although they have lost their sharpness of colour, the fusion of art and nature is still mesmerising.
