'A supermoon rises over the British Columbia Coast Range on the spring equinox this year (2019). The last time a supermoon coincided this closely with the spring equinox was 1905, and the next one won't be until 2144, so this celestial event was a real "once in a lifetime" moment. I photographed the moonrise from Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada, looking out across the Georgia Strait.'
