This image captures an outdoor grape processing and drying operation in Bazar-e Panjva'i, Afghanistan. Five men are observed handling large quantities of light green grapes beneath a makeshift, shaded structure. In the foreground right, a man with a dark beard and a white patterned kufi is squatting, holding and inspecting a cluster of grapes. To his left, another bearded man with a white head covering is also crouched, engaged with grapes on the ground. A third man, wearing a dark baseball cap, is visible behind them, also processing grapes into white plastic crates. Two additional men are partially visible in the left background, similarly occupied. The ground is covered with thousands of loose and bunched light green grapes. In the background, numerous rows of grape bunches are suspended from a wooden framework of vertical poles and horizontal beams, suggesting a drying process. The scene is illuminated by natural light filtering through a dark mesh canopy overhead.
