Geology of Morocco

The scenery is varied in Morocco but some is just amazing and random, take this wadi we camped above at the base of a great mountain track.

wadi with grey base and sand sides exceptional contrast

All the land around is sandy coloured earth with sandstone rocks, but the water has produced a perfect grey base from somewhere and there are no sandy coloured rocks in it, it looks manmade and unreal, you would think there would be a small amount of colour cross contamination but there is none, perfect right to the edge.

Stripy mountains

The second was this striped rocks high into the mountains , the reds, greens , sand coloured and grey can easily be seen, it looks like some avant garde art project for a city, but nature does it so much better.
