Rainbow's end found, but there is no pot of gold

Jason Erdkamp caught the shot as he travelled along a motorway in Orange County, California, in the rain last Sunday.

The end of the rainbow appeared to emerge from a stormy sky to hit the windscreen of Mr Erdkamp’s car as he drove along the northbound 341 tollroad.

As he drove along the motorway, he managed to capture other shots of the rainbow in which it appears to hit the ground.

A rainbow is a spectrum of light that appears in the sky when sunlight is refracted through rain drops or other drops of moisture in the Earth’s atmosphere.

They have inspired much popular folklore, including the belief that a leprechaun can be found with a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

While Mr Erdkamp was not able to find a pot of gold, and has not mentioned meeting any fairies, the rainbow did bring him a bit of luck: he won $25 that night in the lottery. LINK
