This image depicts a metal recycling operation in a semi-enclosed industrial facility in Shurandam, Afghanistan. A male individual, dressed in a grey tunic and trousers with his lower face covered by a light-colored cloth, is actively shoveling a large pile of assorted aluminum beverage cans into an intense, orange and yellow fire. Thick grey smoke billows upwards from the combustion. To the left of the fire, there is a stack of dark, rectangular blocks, possibly refractory materials, with a small metal basin on top and two metal rods or pipes angled against the brick wall. To the right of the individual, a large, white industrial standing fan is visible, along with a partially obscured white sack and a dark drum in the background. The floor is dark and appears to be packed earth or concrete, while the background wall is constructed of unpainted bricks.
