The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is pointed. These photos were taken during a recent trip to Paris. It is the Memorial des martyrs de la deportation memorial near Notre Dame cathedral. It commemorates the 200,000 French citizens deported to concentration camps in WWII. Not only is it literally pointed, it is poignant too.

Powerful post and photographs. I hope you have a great weekend.
Ahhh, that is really good! I hope you are having a good weekend. :)
What a sad and moving tribute, and yes quite pointed! It is awful to think what some humans are capable of doing to others.
Nice shots, and have a good weekend!
Perfect catch for pointed theme!!! Mine's up too hope you can drop by... Happy weekend!
Wow! what fantastic photographs!
Now that is an interesting memorial. Lots of points!
Wonderful and interesting post :)
A cool piece even though there's a sense of sadness in them for memorial.
Have a good weekend!
The structure is truly awesome and artistic :)

The kind of entry that gives one plenty of pause along with food for thought. Thanks for sharing, jams.
That is a very good photo for this theme Jams and a very sad memorial too. Have a good weekend.
Hands down!!! Very nice entries;-) Happy PH!
Very thoughtful memorial. Nice photographs. Hope your weekend is good.
oh very unique for pointed I would like that at my house would you?is that sculpture you made?
Great choices. They must be inspiring to see in reality.
Wow, right to the point Jams
Powerful photos and post!
Powerful photographs, but really quite sad too, isn't it? Great photography.
Thanks everyone
A point-shaped memorial which makes a point in the process. Nice picture.
I've got my PhotoHunt entry up at http://www.anniemayhem.com/cgi-bin/wordpress/ in case you're interested. If you do visit, please leave a comment and feel free to explore the rest of my little blog.
The last picture is a little creepy but interesting.
Sombre.
Remarkable pointed sculpture.
Pointed post, gets right to the thick of the matter!
A very strong reminder. Awesome entry for this week's.
Have a great weekend.
Beautiful photos, very moving subject. Excellent.
I like the eerie quality of the last one especially.
Jams, this was such a great choice for the theme this week. You are so right, it is pointed and poignant. Your framed the photos quite beautifully, too.
A commentrary on comments: Do you ever wonder what people are trying to accomplish, or what they're thinking, when they come to comment, when their comments make it so obvious that they have not read a single word you've written?
Well done!
Superb shots, and very thought-provoking. It's not a comfortable sculpture.
To take up the point made by gandalf & grayson, I wonder about that too. It happens very frequently indeed.
Very nice pics you have... If you have some time, just visit my site and leave some comment, tnx...
Ohhh these are cool pointed shots, Jams! I like it!
I was a little spooked when I saw these pointed metals hanging on the wall. And when I read the words "concentration camps," I felt sadness.
Great photos though.
That definitely makes its point. (sorry, couldn't resist).
What a gruesome and sharp reminder.

Very sobering. Let's pray such atrocities never happen again! Point well put.
I did Photo Hunt today, too! Come see mine. :)

Wonderful photos of an important memorial.
Oh....this is so somber! That last photo really tears at the ol' heart strings!!!!

Very pointed. Hard to get around both, the sculpture and the memorial...
Ouch! Just looking at it makes me feel the pointed edges...Good that I didn't enter the cathedral when we were there. I also pointed something from Paris today. Have a nice week then!

That last photo is simply STUNNING!
Great photos for the theme, and an appropriate memorial, so stark and uncomfortable.
That looks like a really interesting place to visit.
