The image captures an outdoor market scene in Gundigan Village, Afghanistan, under clear blue skies with bright sunlight. In the mid-ground, an elderly man with a long, white beard and mustache, clad in a dark turban, a dark jacket, and dark trousers, is seated on a yellow plastic stool. He shields his eyes with his right hand, looking towards the right, and exhibits a faint smile. In the immediate foreground, a silver stainless steel thermos with a black handle and lid rests on a paved surface, casting a shadow. A small, clear glass containing a yellowish liquid is positioned to its right. To the left of the man, several tall stacks of red onions, contained within red mesh bags, are arranged on what appear to be handcarts or the ground, extending into the background along the paved area. Behind the man, a makeshift market stall features a brown fabric canopy and displays various produce, including a cluster of large, pale orange gourds or squashes on the right. A wooden cart with produce is partially visible under the canopy. Nearby, concrete blocks and a yellow jerrycan are situated. The background reveals simple, light-colored brick or mud-brick buildings lining a dusty, unpaved street, with utility poles and overhead wires visible. The strong sunlight creates distinct shadows across the scene.
