This image captures an outdoor scene in Kandahar, Afghanistan, under a clear, bright sky. In the mid-right, a man of advanced age, exhibiting a prominent white beard, is depicted in left profile. He wears a white tunic and a grey-and-white striped turban. His right hand holds a small blue object, partially obscured. To the left, a tree with long, slender green leaves stands. The midground is dominated by a rusted metal gate, composed of vertical bars with spiked tops, standing partially open. Beyond the gate, a low, partially crumbled wall, seemingly constructed from earth or mud bricks, is visible. The background reveals multiple incomplete or damaged structures, including block walls and fences topped with barbed wire. A white water tank is situated on a distant rooftop, and a blue and white evaporative cooler unit is visible on a structure in the far right. The ground is unpaved and dusty throughout the visible area.
