This image, taken in Pir Dust, Afghanistan, depicts three men standing outdoors in what appears to be a construction or industrial site under a clear, bright blue sky. In the foreground, a rectangular concrete slab rests on a bed of light grey gravel. Embedded within a wet, grey cement strip along the center of this slab is a narrow, metallic, foil-wrapped object adorned with numerous small, bright pink artificial flowers or petals. Standing behind this slab are three adult men. Two men on the left wear white hard hats and neon yellow safety vests over traditional shalwar kameez. The man furthest left wears a black and white checkered scarf, grey shalwar kameez, and dark sneakers. The middle man wears a red and black patterned scarf, light blue shalwar kameez, and light grey sneakers. The man on the right wears a dark olive green shalwar kameez, a dark vest, and a patterned, round cap, with brown sandals on his feet. He holds a stack of white papers in his left hand. All three men have dark beards and are looking towards the camera. The man in the middle and the man on the right appear to have their adjacent hands close together, possibly clasped. The background shows a vast, dry, light brown expanse of earth. On the left, a long row of various colored shipping containers (blue, red, brown, white) is visible, some stacked. On the far right, a large industrial structure, possibly a power line tower or a silo, is present. Distant, low-lying hills are visible on the horizon.
