This image captures a daytime scene within a narrow, paved alleyway in کوکران, Afghanistan. An adult male, approximately 50-70 years old with a beard, is positioned on the left side of the alley, wearing a grey shalwar kameez and brown shoes. He holds a white megaphone to his mouth, seemingly making an announcement or speaking. To the left of the man, a white wall displays a painted inscription in Farsi/Arabic script at the top, likely "رياضي خصوصي" (Private Mathematics), and an alphabet chart below it, featuring a mix of Farsi/Arabic and Latin characters. An open, concrete-lined drainage channel runs along the base of this wall, containing scattered refuse. Three children stand to the right of the adult male. The leftmost child is a boy, estimated to be 8-12 years old, wearing a black beanie and carrying a white bundle over his shoulder. The central child, younger (approximately 4-7 years old), wears a light-colored patterned hat and grey jacket, holding a broom-like object. The rightmost child is a girl, estimated to be 8-12 years old, dressed in a bright pink hooded garment with white polka dots, and holding a large, round, silver-colored metal basin that rests on the ground. All three children are looking towards the right side of the frame, past the adult. The alley is bordered by walls on both sides. The right wall is unpainted or rough-plastered, with a wooden utility pole leaning against it, supporting entangled wires. In the background, several multi-story buildings of varying construction styles are visible, including one with distinct red and green sections. The scene is illuminated by bright sunlight, casting strong shadows, under a clear blue sky. The ground is paved with concrete.
