In the city of Kandahar, Afghanistan, a group of young boys are gathered near a canal. The scene takes place on a sunny day, under a clear blue sky with a few power lines and a distant transmission tower visible. A large, rocky hill stands in the background, with some buildings and trees scattered throughout the landscape. In the foreground, several boys are standing on a concrete ledge and pathway. One boy in a maroon shirt and dark pants carries a large white bag. Another boy, in a blue shirt and dark pants, sits on the ledge, facing away from the camera. A third boy, with dark hair, is partially visible in the lower right corner, stepping towards the canal. To the right, a boy wearing green pants is positioned on the edge of the canal, his back to the viewer, appearing to be getting ready to enter the water. Several other boys are visible in the background, some standing and some interacting. A bridge with yellow railings and metal supports spans the canal, with pipes running underneath it. The canal water is a murky, greenish-brown. The overall environment suggests a somewhat impoverished urban setting in Afghanistan.
