A sun-drenched suburban street in Rancho Mirage, California, is left in quiet disarray following a sudden flash flood, with debris and sediment scattered across the manicured landscape. Joel Sternfeld captures the striking contrast between the orderly affluence of the desert community and the raw, indifferent power of nature that has briefly disrupted it. The large-format chromogenic print renders the scene in vivid, luminous color, lending an almost serene beauty to the aftermath of destruction.
