This image depicts an outdoor street scene in Kandahar, Afghanistan, under bright daylight. A male, appearing to be in his late teens or early twenties, with dark hair and a light beard, stands on the right side of the frame. He wears a light brown or olive-green long-sleeved tunic (kameez) and a matching, plaid-patterned turban. His right hand grasps the handle of a mobile vendor cart. The cart, positioned centrally, is a metallic pushcart, likely constructed of sheet metal and painted a muted green or silver, exhibiting wear and dents. Its front panel displays faded text in Pashto or Dari script, partially legible as "سردینه لومړۍ حیا" (Cool First Life) and referencing a "مدرسۀ لومړۍ حیات" (First Life Madrasa/School). On the cart's counter, a black plastic crate contains multiple clear plastic cups. Beneath the counter, a stack of two yellow plastic stools, a yellow plastic jerry can, a white thermos or pitcher, and a pink patterned bag are visible. The background features a large, double-leaf gate made of faded teal-green corrugated metal, adorned with intricate wrought-iron or stamped metal decorative patterns across its top section. A white rectangular plaque with the black number "16" is affixed to the lower left leaf of the gate. To the right of the gate, an exposed wall of light-colored, unplastered bricks is visible. Further to the right, a smooth, light-colored wall extends, with the top portion of a metal roll-down security shutter visible above the individual's head. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, creating distinct shadows. The precise street within Kandahar is not identifiable from the image, but the architectural and environmental features are consistent with an urban setting in the region.
