While trying to capture the stories of the residents of the Montecito mudslide, I came across this house. In the debris pile in the foreground you can see how raging forces of Mother Nature can overturn a car and rip it to shreds making it barely recognizable. The entangled mess includes guard rails, pieces of people's homes, and large rocks. I edited the photo to be black and white to fully put the emphasis on the house in the background where you can clearly see how high the mud rose. Despite the enormous devastation there are signs of optimism with the owners of this badly damaged home writing "Thank you everyone! We love you."
