The image depicts a daytime street scene in Gundigan Village, Afghanistan, featuring ongoing road construction. In the foreground, a young male, appearing to be in his late teens or early twenties, stands facing the camera. He wears a dark blue long-sleeved shirt and a light-colored, embroidered traditional cap. To his left, a younger male, viewed from the back, stands beside a bicycle on the edge of the newly paved asphalt road. This individual wears a loose-fitting dark blue garment. A package secured with string is visible on the bicycle's rear rack. The central feature of the midground is a dark, freshly paved asphalt road extending into the distance. Further down this road, two large yellow road paving or compaction machines are visible. Along both sides of the road, numerous individuals are gathered, observing the construction activity. Buildings, primarily single or two-story with light-colored facades, line the left side of the street, with a light blue utility vehicle parked nearby. On the right side of the frame, behind the foreground subjects, a gray concrete structure, possibly under construction, is visible with a wooden ladder leaning against it. Utility poles with overhead wires are present on both sides of the street. In the far background, light-colored mountains rise under a clear blue sky. The ground immediately adjacent to the paved road appears unpaved and dusty.
