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.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, that is really good! I hope you are having a good weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad and moving tribute, and yes quite pointed! It is awful to think what some humans are capable of doing to others.
ReplyDeleteNice shots, and have a good weekend!
Perfect catch for pointed theme!!! Mine's up too hope you can drop by... Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow! what fantastic photographs!
ReplyDeleteNow that is an interesting memorial. Lots of points!
ReplyDeleteWonderful and interesting post :)
ReplyDeleteA cool piece even though there's a sense of sadness in them for memorial.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!
The structure is truly awesome and artistic :)

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone
ReplyDeleteA point-shaped memorial which makes a point in the process. Nice picture.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteSombre.
ReplyDeleteRemarkable pointed sculpture.
ReplyDeletePointed post, gets right to the thick of the matter!
ReplyDeleteA very strong reminder. Awesome entry for this week's.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Beautiful photos, very moving subject. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteI like the eerie quality of the last one especially.
ReplyDeleteJams, 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.
ReplyDeleteA 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!
ReplyDeleteSuperb shots, and very thought-provoking. It's not a comfortable sculpture.
ReplyDeleteTo 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...
ReplyDeleteOhhh these are cool pointed shots, Jams! I like it!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos though.
That definitely makes its point. (sorry, couldn't resist).
ReplyDeleteWhat a gruesome and sharp reminder.

ReplyDeleteOuch! 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!
