There were more rainbows in the sky than usual Sunday night. 

Dozens of world landmarks lit up in dazzling color to express solidarity and honor victims of the horrific mass shooting in an LGBT nightclub in Orlando on Saturday.

From the World Trade Center in New York to Brisbane's Story Bridge to a local courthouse in Nashville, iconic structures sent their love to a city far, far away.

Their tributes are a powerful reminder that no matter where you travel or where you live, we all share a common story. Take a look:
