Photographer captures the end of the rainbow on his iPhone


So now we know what's at the end of the rainbow - and it's not a pot of gold.

Instead it meets the northbound carriageway of the Highway 241 toll road in Orange County, California.And according to witnesses it was travelling at just over 30mph( I don't understand how they came up with that speed :D)

This amazing picture was snapped last Sunday, following a storm on the west coast of the US, by amateur photographer Jason Erdkamp's iPhone.

According to myth there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, perhaps hidden by leprechauns.

But Jason, from the Los Angeles suburb of Lake Forest, said: "There was no pot of gold, but I did win $25 that night on a lottery ticket."

2008 in pictures

This year's most memorable images, both familiar and new, sobering and inspiring, are snapshots of the stories that gripped us.

Violence continued in the Middle East, worsened in Congo and erupted between Russia and Georgia. Grief was widespread in China and Myanmar following natural disasters that left tens of thousands dead and many more homeless. A deepening financial crisis in America rippled across the world.

But there was also joy and achievement. A little French movie with a multiethnic cast of non-professional actors won the top prize at Cannes. Michael Phelps made gold medal history at the Beijing Olympics. And an unusually long and polarizing campaign season ended with the historic election of a 47-year-old black man as president of the United States.
