Tokyo Skytree illuminates the night sky in the capital, shimmering in the Paralympic symbol colors of red, blue and green as a backdrop for the ongoing Tokyo Games.

The Paralympic symbol is called the "Three Agitos," which means "I move" in Latin. It represents Paralympians who continuously push their own limits.

The symbol is also projected onto the observation deck, which stretches 350 meters above ground in Sumida Ward, Tokyo.

The special illumination runs through the final day of action at the Paralympics on Sept. 5, with the landmark tower lit up from around 6:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.
