“Bench, Wall With Fado Tiles” — A bench on a slanted sidewalk and a wall with Fado tiles, Lisbon.
I love little off-kilter scenes like this one. In the center are two tile illustrations of the fado music tradition of Portugal. (The tiles were seen in an earlier post on this website.) They are aligned to perfect verticals and horizontals. But everything else tilts — the bench on the cobbled sidewalk, the pipe that frames the image, the wiring attached to the walls. A door at the left, barely intruding into the frame, is the only other thing that lines up.
I’m reposting this information about this Canon Instant Rebate promotion today since a) this offer includes good prices on a lot of great Canon lenses and other equipment and b) it expires in less than 48hours – this Saturday!
Canon is offering another “Instant Rebate” promotion through September 29, 2012, this time on a large selection of lenses and Speedlites. Included are a wide range of lenses (zooms, primes, L, non-L, EFS, wide to telephoto, macro, tilt/shift), tele-extenders (1.4x and 2x), and electronic flashes including the most recent introductions. The following list includes links that you can use to purchase from site-sponsor B&H Photo. (Your purchases through these links are appreciated as they benefit this blog – thanks!)
Through early January, Canon has an “instant rebate” promotion on a very large group of lenses and Speedlites, and many of the discounts are unusually large. If you have been waiting to make a Canon lens or Speedlight purchase, this might be a good time to make your move. I have posted a list of eligible products with links to site sponsor B&H. (More offers are listed on the Deals page.) Enjoy!
