The scene depicts an active brick-making facility in Nakhonay, Afghanistan, under a bright, partly cloudy sky. A tall, tapering brick chimney dominates the central background, emitting a plume of dark grey smoke from its apex. The sun is visible and bright in the upper right quadrant of the sky. The foreground consists of dry, light-brown, uneven soil exhibiting vehicle tire tracks and scattered debris. Flanking the foreground are two substantial, neatly stacked piles of light-colored, unbaked bricks, indicative of material storage or curing areas. In the midground, behind the foreground brick stacks, various low-lying structures are present, including a dark, rectangular furnace opening or kiln pit to the left of the chimney, and a small, cuboid building to the right. The overall environment is arid and industrial, with no discernible human figures visible, though the ongoing smoke emission and organized brick stacks indicate recent or current operational activity.
