just gotta share this

This is from the sighsofmylife blog again:

"Tim Klimowicz has created an animated map of Iraq that marks the death of each soldier from the U.S.-led coalition with a small dot, placing the toll of warfare in both time and space. The time-lapse animation runs at ten frames per second, with each day assigned its own frame. Fatalities first flash onto the map as momentary red blossoms, which quickly subside until only a dark dot remains on the approximate geographic location of the deadly incident."
