Capitol during the Light The Night Walk event benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The photograph showcases a mesmerizing display of illuminated balloons held by people walking, painting vibrant streaks of color across the night sky.

Against the backdrop of one of America's most recognizable landmarks, their vivid hues create an ethereal atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and uplifting.
