A young boy stands in the foreground on a recently paved black asphalt road in Gundigan Village, Afghanistan. The boy, approximately 8-12 years old, has short dark hair, light-colored eyes, and wears a black skullcap, a light blue tunic, and a multi-toned brown and maroon striped scarf. He looks upwards and slightly to his right. To his left, a large yellow construction roller with green stripes is partially visible. To his right, in the midground, a large yellow multi-wheeled vibratory roller with a canopy and an operator is positioned on the asphalt, featuring four black rubber rear tires. Further in the background, another smaller orange road roller with an operator is visible. A concrete curb runs along the right side of the road, where a partially visible figure in a dark brown garment stands. In the background, single-story buildings with light-colored brickwork line the left side of the road, showing activity with indistinct figures and parked motorcycles. A bare, rocky mountain range is visible under a clear blue sky in the far background. Strong sunlight casts distinct shadows across the scene.
