This image captures a market scene in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Two young males are prominent in the foreground, viewed from behind. The male on the left wears a brown shalwar kameez and a white kufi hat, with multiple long strands of dried figs draped over his shoulders and back. To his right, another male wears a dark grey shalwar kameez. A third individual, partially obscured, is visible behind the male in brown. The immediate environment is a bustling market stall. Piles of dried figs are visible, both carried by the individual and in loose heaps on the ground and in large metal basins. Various nuts, including what appear to be pistachios and almonds, are displayed in white and blue sacks and metal containers. A large blue sack filled with yellow dried fruit, possibly mulberries or apricots, sits on the ground to the right. A raised wooden display stand holds multiple market baskets, some covered with clear plastic. A prominent vertical banner poster on a white pillar advertises different types of nuts (pistachios, cashews, almonds) and dried fruits with photographic images. The architecture on the left features a series of white arched ceilings, suggesting a traditional bazaar structure. Shelves on the left pillar hold a yellow jerry can and plastic-wrapped items. Exposed wiring runs down the pillar. To the far right, a darkened interior space with windows is visible behind the market stall. The scene depicts active commerce within an open-air or semi-covered market.
