A Monumental Win

February 10, 2025

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LIX by defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on February 9, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Fortunate to have watched the game in Philadelphia, I explored the city scenes after the big win and captured this photo of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, after midnight, illuminated in green to celebrate.
