This image depicts an outdoor construction or clearing site in Nakhonay, Afghanistan. Centered in the foreground is an adult male, dressed in a light tan long-sleeved tunic over a dark undershirt and light trousers, with open-toed sandals. He looks directly at the camera, holding a long-handled shovel vertically in his right hand and a shorter-handled shovel angled downwards in his left hand. To his immediate right, the lower body of another individual in dark clothing is partially visible. Behind the central figure, a pile of gravel and sand is partially contained by an irregular, low concrete curb with sloped sides. To the left, a large, felled tree trunk lies horizontally near a partially visible metal wheelbarrow. Further back, a substantial mound of dry brush or woody debris is positioned against a light-colored brick wall that spans the mid-ground. The background beyond the wall features several leafless deciduous trees under a clear, light blue sky. The ground throughout the scene is uneven, light-colored soil with scattered rocks and construction debris. Shadows suggest strong sunlight from the upper right.
