About a photograph

I was given a photograph of a building and a person walking in front, I had to list the denotations, connotations and finally have an idea of the photograph's story.

Denotations:
Soldier
Building
Rubble
Gun
Generator
Wires
Windows
Clothes
Helmet
Soldiers uniform

Connotations:
Disaster
War
Earthquake
Bomb
Terrorist
Rescue
Afghanistan
Mexico
Iraq
Italy

My Story:
My own thoughts on the story was that it was set in Iraq and an iraqi soldier was looking to rescue someone from a bombed building.

Actual Story:
The photograph was set in Italy after the recent earthquake they had. As soon as I recieved the photo, I thought of recent events and Italy came into my mind, but I dismissed it straight away.
