The image depicts an active industrial brick-making facility situated within a dusty, arid landscape in Nakhonay, Afghanistan. A tall, light-brown brick chimney stands prominently on the mid-right, emitting a dense, dark black plume of smoke vertically into a hazy, pale grey sky, which then disperses horizontally to the left. A second, smaller brick chimney is visible in the distant background, left of center, also emitting dark smoke. The foreground and midground consist of extensive, light-brown earth, characterized by numerous large mounds of excavated material and organized stacks of finished bricks in the lower-left. Several low-rise structures constructed from earth or brick are scattered across the scene. A red vehicle is partially visible near the base of the main chimney. In the mid-ground, to the left of the main chimney, two dark-colored equids and one lighter-colored animal are present. Sparse green vegetation and additional indistinct vehicles are visible along the distant horizon.
