The image depicts a street scene in Kandahar, Afghanistan. In the foreground, an adult male is seated on the tailgate of an orange pickup truck, leaning against its left side. He wears a dark embroidered skullcap, a large light-brown blanket or shawl wrapped around his upper body, dark brown loose trousers, and dark slip-on shoes; his right foot is partially dislodged from its shoe. His gaze is directed towards the right side of the frame. The background reveals a paved street and a concrete sidewalk. A tree with numerous long, narrow green leaves and a light-colored trunk grows from the sidewalk. Behind the tree, a series of multi-story buildings line the street. The building immediately behind the man features a pale green or light olive-colored facade with arched windows. To the right of the tree, another building has a lower section clad in reddish-brown faux stone, with commercial signage. One prominent blue vertical sign displays "NAGEN" in Latin script, followed by Dari/Pashto script including "تکین" (Tekin) and "عکسخانه" (Akskhana, meaning Photo Studio) and "PHOTO" in Latin script, along with a phone number (0702xxxxxxx). A blue number "13" is visible on a utility pole or wall section behind the tree. The sidewalk contains minor debris, and the street surface shows wear.
