1F308 (rainbow)
symbolically tolerance of diversity
(are those supposed to be clouds below, or land?)
the artist's palette emoji also suggests a range/choice of colors
folklore imagines a pot of gold
Judy Garland imagined heaven/utopia
real rainbows always have the red on the outside (and the sky is usually much darker outside the rainbow than inside it)

1F304 (sunrise over mountains)
is it just Japan that assumes mountains (or sea?) are in the east and cities are in the west??
in any case, the sunsets can't be reliably distinguished globally, although some have a slightly darker sky
1F303 (night with stars)
dark-sky versions make the cityscape very hard to see, light-sky versions are confusing so a crescent moon is added
cf cityscape at dusk
foggy (may have cityscape)
sunset over buildings
bridge at night
milky way
sunrise over mountains
sunrise
Mount Fuji
volcano
office building
