The image captures a scene at a brick-making or construction site, identified as Nakhonay, Afghanistan, showing three adult males engaged in manual labor or resting amidst large quantities of unfired bricks. In the foreground to the right, a male individual is in a deep squatting position, facing away from the camera. He wears light-colored, dust-stained traditional clothing (likely a shalwar kameez) and a dark maroon head covering. His right hand, covered by a red and black work glove, extends towards the ground. A small, red-labeled metal can is visible on the dusty ground directly under his left foot, appearing partially crushed. Another similar upright can is near his right hand. In the mid-ground, to the left of the frame, two other male individuals are standing. One, with his back mostly to the camera, wears dark-colored traditional clothing and sandals, facing a tall, stacked wall of unfired bricks. The second, positioned slightly further right, also wears dark traditional clothing and sandals, and is holding a single brick in gloved hands, facing the brick stack. The environment consists of uneven, dusty light-brown ground. A thin string or wire is visible stretched across the ground in the mid-ground. The background is dominated by large, tightly stacked walls and piles of light-brown, unfired bricks. To the far right, a sturdy wall constructed of similar bricks runs vertically.
