Four young males walk from left to right on an asphalt street in Kandahar, Afghanistan

Four young males walk from left to right on an asphalt street in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Three individuals wear light blue shalwar kameez and white skullcaps; one of these carries a light blue backpack and holds a white paper, appearing to read it. The fourth male, positioned slightly behind, wears a dark gray or olive shalwar kameez and a dark backpack. To the right, a large, ornate metal gate, predominantly white with teal or light blue geometric and floral patterns, marks an entrance. This gate is framed by a dark, possibly marbled, pillar on the left, which has faded blue script or graffiti. Above the gate and pillar is a white and teal trim. The ground immediately in front of the gate is paved with light-colored, patterned tiles. On the left side of the scene, a single, slender coniferous tree stands next to a low, exposed mud-brick wall. The background behind the individuals includes various low-rise structures, additional mud-brick walls, and several frames covered with green tarpaulin, suggesting agricultural or shade structures. In the far distance, under a hazy sky, a distinct conical mountain peak is visible. The scene is brightly illuminated by direct sunlight, casting pronounced shadows of the individuals and objects to their right.
