The image depicts a street scene in Arghandab, Afghanistan, under a clear blue sky. In the immediate foreground and midground on the right, a lone individual, a woman fully covered in a black abaya or burqa, walks on the paved shoulder of a road. Her left foot is planted on the pavement. Adjacent to her right, and extending into the midground, are substantial piles of light-colored rubble, consisting of broken concrete and earth, suggesting demolition or construction debris. The central and left portion of the image is dominated by a two-lane asphalt road, which appears worn and dusty, leading into the distance. Along the left side of the road, a busy street is visible with numerous people, primarily men, congregated near stalls or shops. Several bicycles are present, along with a few motor vehicles, including cars and a motorcycle. Buildings line this side of the street, including multi-story structures, one featuring a red and white architectural element resembling a gas station canopy in the mid-distance. Multiple utility poles with numerous overhead power lines are prominent along the street. In the midground and background on the right, beyond the rubble, the landscape is largely barren and flat. Further in the distance, a few buildings are discernible, including one with a distinctive arched, corrugated metal roof and another multi-story building featuring flags on its rooftop. The sky above is uniformly bright and clear, indicating a sunny day.
