Blessed

Blessed is a collection of seventy six photographs of the Carmel area captured by Bruna Odello who shares her knowledge of the region and her appreciation of the sublime in these stunning images. Ms Odello is a member of one of the original settling families with intimate connections to both the rural coast and the long established religious institutions that serve its residents. Her intensive camera work over a period of nearly forty years celebrates a perspective that brims with gratitude.& ; & ; Images of the Carmel Mission and Carmelite Monastery are juxtaposed with those of wetlands and grand sunsets to give travelers a kaleidoscopic yet focused view of the area, and provide those who are already familiar with the Carmel coast a deeper appreciation of their beloved religious landmarks and magnificent coastline.
