An elderly man is seated on a concrete curb at Gundigan Village, Afghanistan

An elderly man is seated on a concrete curb at Gundigan Village, Afghanistan. He possesses a long white beard and is dressed in a black turban, a light tan shalwar kameez, and a dark pinstriped vest. A gold-toned wristwatch is visible on his left wrist, and he holds a string of green and brown prayer beads (tasbih) in his left hand. He wears grey open-toed sandals. He is looking towards his right (viewer's left) with a contemplative expression. To his left is a grey, textured road surface with tire marks and scattered debris. To his right, behind him, a concrete walkway or raised platform displays items for sale, including a large bundle of red onions, multiple plastic bottles in a dark crate, and several red plastic objects stacked. The scene is illuminated by strong sunlight, casting distinct shadows, including the man's profile shadow on the concrete surface to his right. A small piece of white detritus lies on the ground near his right foot.
