In Nakhonay, Afghanistan, two adult males are engaged in manual labor, actively shoveling earthen material into a wheelbarrow on an unpaved outdoor site. The subject on the left, wearing a light-colored long-sleeved garment, loose trousers, and sandals, with a patterned black and white head covering, holds a shovel, depositing a scoop of material into a metal wheelbarrow positioned between the two individuals. The subject on the right, dressed in a light brown traditional tunic (shalwar kameez), uses a second shovel to move material from a large, irregular pile of dirt and gravel, directing it towards the wheelbarrow. The ground is dry and uneven, composed of dirt and small stones. In the background, a low brick wall runs horizontally, with sparse trees and distant, low-rise structures visible under a partly cloudy blue sky. Concrete slabs or similar construction materials are stacked in the far right background.
