The scene depicts an outdoor hospital entrance or triage area at night in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The foreground shows a tiled concrete ground with a prominent blue strip running horizontally. To the left, an empty white wheeled hospital gurney with a textured mattress is positioned. In the center-foreground, a person wearing a dark long coat and light pants, with their back partially to the camera, walks towards the viewer. Behind them, another individual in light-colored traditional attire, including a long shawl, stands. Further right, a person is seated on a dark, wheeled utility cart or makeshift stretcher, partially obscured by a white slatted barrier on the extreme right. Additional individuals in traditional Afghan clothing are visible standing and sitting along a wall or building facade with windows and a metal railing. In the background, on the far left, a street is visible with vehicle lights and several figures, some appearing to wear burqas. Overhead artificial lighting illuminates the immediate area, while the background appears darker with distant streetlights. Blue structural columns are visible, supporting an overhead canopy or extended structure.
