Found: The end of the rainbow... but there's no pot of gold

Legend has it that at the end of every rainbow sits a leprechaun, hammering on a shoe, who will reveal the whereabouts of a crock of gold. Just as well, then, that it's only a legend - otherwise the little imp at the end of this rainbow would have found himself squashed by a 4x4 on a busy motorway.

While many of us have seen a rainbow, few have been lucky enough to witness where it actually ends.Even fewer have caught the moment on camera.

This rare picture was taken by amateur photographer Jason Erdkamp as he travelled along a freeway in Orange County, California, in the rain last Sunday. And it does seem to have proved lucky for him.

'There was no pot of gold,' he said yesterday. But I did win $25 that night on a lottery ticket. (Source: Daily Mail)
