Moonrise over Church of the Gesu

Took this photo in the early evening on Monday of this week. Church of the Gesu (is on the campus of Marquette University, on Wisconsin Avenue at 12 Street, in downtown Milwaukee. (By the way, Gesu is pronounced JAY ZOO, in case you were wondering😀)

Moonrise over Church of the Gesu, 12th and Wisconsin, on the Marquette University campus in downtown Milwaukee

A beautiful and rather large, imposing church, but with an oddly reassuring presence as it looms over the intersection above students walking to and from their classes.

I drive by this church pretty often, but it was the moon that caught my eye Monday evening and turned the moment into a photograph 🙂
