Painted Rocks of Tafraout

In 1984, Belgian artist Jean Vérame painted 18 tonnes of enormous granite boulders in the desert outside Tafraout in vivid blues, purples, and reds. The colours have faded but the rocks are still painted, still strange, and still entirely out of place in the Anti-Atlas landscape. The project was either a remarkable piece of land art or an act of vandalism, depending on who you ask.
