This image depicts a street scene in Kandahar, Afghanistan, under an overcast sky. In the foreground, a concrete sidewalk runs parallel to the street. An open, rectangular drainage ditch, approximately 0.5 meters wide, runs alongside the sidewalk. This ditch is filled with dark liquid, various plastic bags, and general refuse. Sections of the ditch are covered by irregular concrete slabs. Adjacent to the sidewalk and ditch is an unpaved dirt shoulder leading to the main road. In the midground, a silver Toyota Prius sedan is parked on the dirt shoulder, facing the viewer. To its right, a person, dressed in dark clothing and light pink trousers, stands next to a two-wheeled vendor cart covered by a transparent plastic sheet. Further right on the paved street, another person, similarly dressed in dark clothing and light pink trousers, rides a bicycle away from the viewer. Utility poles with overhead power lines are visible along the left side of the street. The background reveals a bustling urban environment. Buildings, some appearing to be shops with storefronts, line the left side of the street. Further down the road, distinctive arc-shaped structures, possibly street lights or decorative arches, span over the thoroughfare. Beyond these, a mix of commercial and residential buildings extends into the distance, with a faint suggestion of an overpass or bridge. The sky is largely covered by scattered clouds, indicating diffused daylight.
