Cobbler Tacking Sole at Hama Harbor

by Mark Howe

Warm golden light spills across the harbor edge in Hama, casting long copper shadows as early spring leaves skitter across the cobblestones. An over-the-shoulder view reveals a cobbler working at a worn wooden bench, their hands steady as they drive a tack through a leather sole onto an iron last. The metal of the last gleams faintly against the rough grain of the workbench, while the shoe rests securely in place. Dust motes hang in the air, catching the fading sun. The cobbler's sleeves are rolled up, exposing forearms dusted with leather shavings. A small pile of discarded tacks sits near the edge of the bench, glinting like tiny coins in the dimming light.
