Sailing Stones Infographic by Danny Jones
February 15, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Design
My buddy Danny Jones (who runs the wonderful blog YASLY) created this amazing infographic which displays the paths taken by sailing stones. As you can read above, the stones are quite a mystery, as they seem to be moving themselves somehow, without the help of any humans or animals. But as you can see above, they’re definitely cruising around the desert somehow.
The illustration is a part of a new series he’s started called Infographic Exploration which I’m really curious to more of. I love the idea of taking a random entry from Wikipedia and creating an illustration around it. Maybe I should make a contest?
Anyhow, I think this graphic is awesome and I can’t wait to see Danny do more.
