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.

Spectacular: The rainbow leaps directly from the tarmac in Jason Erdkamp's photograph

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.'

Now the rainbow has moved. Jason estimated that it was travelling at up to 30mph

Rainbows occur when sunlight is refracted through rain droplets to create an arc-shaped spectrum of colours in the sky.


This particular rainbow was caused by a storm last Sunday from a cold front moving through California's Santa Ana mountains.   

Mr Erdkamp photographed it using his Apple iPhone as he travelled along the 241 toll road in Orange County.

He even managed to estimate how fast the rainbow was travelling as it moved northwards.

Speaking from his U.S. home, he said: 'Rainbows seemed very dynamic in movement when you are near their base.   

'The speed of movement across the ground was about 20 to 30mph as the base of the rainbow moved with the storm. It lasted for about five minutes.'

    尽管我们许多人见过彩虹，但相信只有少数的幸运者见到过彩虹的尽头，而用镜头捕捉到这一瞬间的人更是幸运无比。这几张罕见的照片出自业余摄影师杰森·埃德卡姆普(Jason Erdkamp)之手。今年2月7日，他驾车行驶在美国加州奥兰治郡的高速公路上，那天还下着淅淅沥沥的小雨。捕捉到彩虹的“尾巴”表明埃德卡姆普的运气着实不错。他11日说：“我没发现装满金子的坛子。但那晚的一张奖券确实让我赢了25美元。”

    彩虹形成的原应并不复杂，当阳光折射穿过雨滴时，便在天空中产生了绚丽的弧形彩色光谱。照片中的这条彩虹形成于当天经过加州圣塔安娜山的冷空气前锋产生的风暴。埃德卡姆普在座驾疾驰在241号收费公路时，用苹果iPhone手机捕捉到这一壮观场景。

    他甚至成功估算出彩虹向北移动时行进的速度。埃德卡姆普在美国家中接受采访时说：“如果你逼近它们的‘老巢’，会发现彩虹在移动中不停变化。彩虹在地面移动的速度达到每小时20至30英里，而彩虹底部随着风暴不停移动。整个过程大概持续了5分钟。”(孝文）
