A static, wide-angle daytime photograph captures a severely environmentally degraded urban landscape within Quetta City Tehsil, Pakistan

A static, wide-angle daytime photograph captures a severely environmentally degraded urban landscape within Quetta City Tehsil, Pakistan. The foreground consists of an unpaved, light brown dirt track. Immediately beyond this track, the mid-ground expands into a vast, low-lying expanse of terrain entirely covered by a dense and scattered accumulation of refuse, primarily composed of white plastic bags, discarded packaging, and various indeterminate debris, intermingled with mounds of dry earth. A small, isolated patch of green vegetation is visible within this debris field. In the mid-distance, a utilitarian concrete bridge or culvert spans across the polluted depression. The background features a cluster of multi-story, flat-roofed buildings of varying architectural styles, positioned on the elevated edges of the polluted area. Beyond the urban structures, a range of light-colored, barren mountains rise distinctly against a hazy, light grey sky. No discernable individuals, specific actions, or interactions are present within the frame. The scene is illuminated by diffuse daylight, resulting in soft shadows and an overall muted color palette.
