Copper Smiths......Tripoli Libya

The Old Souk in Tripoli lies on the edge of the Mediterranean pushed towards the port by the old town................. Copper Smiths toil by day and into the evening shaping and bending the bitter metal into all manner of pots pans and Minaret peaks.......... they are a solitary bunch hunched over their leather covered wooden stumps, half deafened by years of work, bent by their task.
