The image captures an outdoor industrial scene at a brick-making facility in Nakhonay, Afghanistan, under a pale, hazy sky. In the right foreground, an adult male, clad in a light-colored skullcap, a long olive-toned garment, and sandals, is seen from a partial rear view, leaning forward. He holds a dark ladle or scoop, from which a dark liquid or substance is being poured into one of several circular openings on the ground. The immediate ground is dry, light brown, and dusty, with patches of darker earth or ash, and scattered reddish bricks. Several dark, disc-shaped covers with handles are embedded in the ground in the foreground. In the midground, numerous low, rectangular structures composed of stacked bricks or mud are visible. In the far background, a tall, slender brick chimney emits a thick column of dark smoke vertically, signifying active operations. Sparse vegetation and distant buildings are present on the horizon.
