This image depicts an outdoor brick-making facility in Nakhonay, Afghanistan, under a partially cloudy sky. The foreground features a large pile of scattered, light brown, unfired mud bricks. Behind this, a male individual walks right-to-left across the frame, positioned centrally. He wears a dark grey tunic, dark trousers, dark shoes, and light blue work gloves. His head is covered with a reddish-brown fabric, obscuring his face below the eyes with additional dark fabric. His gaze is directed downwards. The ground is dry, light brown earth, marked by numerous long, parallel rows of stacked, unfired mud bricks. These stacks are uniform in size and arrangement, creating distinct shadows on the ground. In the mid-ground, a tall, textured earthen wall or bank stretches horizontally across the scene, appearing to be made of packed earth or mud brick. Behind this wall, additional excavated earth or a raised terrain is visible. The upper portion of the image displays a blue sky with scattered white cumulus clouds. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight, casting shadows from the brick stacks and the worker.
