WHEN: February 2021

DETAILS: Marc Venema says he was photographing snowy owls near Linwood in southwestern Ontario when he noticed a full moon rising on the horizon. “My initial goal was to capture some detailed photos of the moon, but when I saw this snowy owl perched atop a farmer’s silo, my mindset quickly shifted,” he says. “I set up and waited for the exact moment when the moon and owl intersected.”
