This image captures a daytime street scene in Kandahar, Afghanistan, under clear, bright skies with some atmospheric haze. The foreground left features an older male, possibly of Pashtun ethnicity, with a long white beard, wearing a light-colored traditional outfit and a dark turban. He is seated on a silver and black motorcycle, facing forward, with his left foot on the ground. In the mid-ground, a turquoise Toyota Corolla wagon, license plate "KDR T 458" (Kandahar province), is prominently positioned, facing away from the viewer. It has a roof rack with indistinct items strapped to it. Behind it, a white Toyota Corolla wagon is also visible, similarly equipped with a roof rack. Both vehicles appear to be in traffic, possibly slowed or stopped. On the right side of the road, a makeshift roadside market operates. At least two stalls, constructed from light-colored tarps and poles, display goods. The primary stall showcases numerous brightly colored balloons (red, pink, purple) and to its right, a collection of round, colorful fruits (likely apples or pomegranates). Several individuals are present near these stalls; one person wearing a dark vest over light clothing and a light-colored turban is partially visible facing the stalls, and another figure in a full black burqa walks away from the viewer, accompanied by another person whose lower body is visible. In the upper right, a large billboard with Dari/Pashto script features an advertisement for a beverage, with text referring to "Energy" and "Best." The left side of the road is lined with modern streetlights and utility poles, bearing small blue and white signs with numbers like "3" and "15.3." The environment indicates a bustling urban or peri-urban thoroughfare.
