Saturday, 10 September 2005

The sixth day of my September 2005 photo series. During my apprenticeship I didn't have the time and room to keep a companion animal myself yet. So on weekends, which I usually spent in Potsdam with my parents, I often went to the animal shelter to take dogs for walks. By 2011 this animal shelter does not exist anymore. The photographs below show Barry who might be a Miniature Pinscher. I think he was the first dog from Potsdam's animal shelter whom I took for a walk, but these photographs are not from our first time. The captions are from the time the photos were taken.

a light green sign with the dark green words "Tierheim Potsdam" on it — The signs says Animal shelter Potsdam.

a small dog, maybe a Miniature Pinscher, sniffing on the ground at the wayside — This is Barry sniffing at the ground. There are many scent marks around the animal shelter.

the little dog sniffing at the grass — Barry's so cute. I wonder how big he will be once he is grown up.

a blurred photograph of a way through the forest — We jogged…

a way through the forest — …through the forest.

a car parking before one of several fences; in the background low houses — This is the animal shelter.

a sign with an arrow pointing in one direction and the caption "Einsatzführungskommando der Bundeswehr" — The Einsatzführungskommando der Bundeswehr is the headquarters for missions of the German military in foreign countries.

part of a bigger building: concrete pillars carry two storeys — Part of Potsdam university.
