We were looking for the Museum of Modern Art I believe, when I spotted this apparently dumped pile of old, busted TVs stacked on top of a random roof, looking like an abandoned set from a Mad Max movie..

Marrakesh, aside from being one of my favourite cities, is one of the most Sci Fi places I’ve ever visited. Nothing beats the clash of Islamic culture and the ancient architecture with 24 hour Internet cafes and satelite dishes sprouting from every rooftop. Tokyo and Seoul might be your first pick for SF holidays, but I can’t recommend the feeling of being dropped into an alien culture that Marrakesh gives you enough…

Check out my other photos here…
