A young male, estimated 8-12 years old, stands at the entrance of a weathered, light brown, mud-brick structure in Nurod Din, Afghanistan. The subject is dressed in a dark green shalwar kameez and a bright red, flat-topped cap. He holds a piece of light yellow, potentially edible, material in both hands, with his mouth slightly agape. The structure features an irregular, dark, arched entrance, revealing a dark interior with a hint of red fabric. The ground in the immediate foreground is dry, light brown earth, exhibiting a distinct shadow of the subject and the structure cast towards the lower left. A small, dry stick lies on the ground to the left. The upper portion of the image reveals a clear, bright blue sky under strong daylight conditions.
