Rare Photo Of The ‘End’ Of The Rainbow

Rare photo of the ‘end’ of the rainbow February 8th, 2009, by Gary Robbins, science writer-editor

CLICK IMAGE to enlarge.

We received several storm photographs from readers Saturday, including one that depicted something that’s very, very rarely seen, especially in Southern California — the end of the rainbow.

A reader, who has finally been identified as Jason Erdkamp of Lake Forest, took this photo while traveling north on the 241 Tollroad in northeast Orange County. Stefanie Sullivan, a forecaster for the National Weather Service, says she’s never seen the “end” of the rainbow, partly because there are so many buildings and other structures in Southern California. I haven’t, either.

And I lived in South Florida for 5 years. South Florida is very flat, and the afternoon storm activity produces many rainbows. But I never saw the end of one.

Cool Picture. Thanks for posting the link. I didn’t even know there was a visible end to a rainbow like it shows in the picture.

I told you God thinks the whole global warming bit is just imaginative human folly. I see at the end of God’s rainbow is not a pot of gold, but an SUV in the OC. Look ALGORE if you believed in God, he’s tellin’ ya somethin’. Try listening you blow hard, super egocentric maniac.

The End
Earl Grant

At the end of a rainbow, you’ll find a pot of gold
At the end of a story, you’ll find it’s all been told
But our love has a treasure our hearts always spend
And it has a story without any end

At the end of a river, the water stops its flow
At the end of a highway, there’s no place you can go
But just tell me you love and you are only mine
And our love will go on ‘til the end of time

That’s a perfect example of what can happen when folks keep blowing sunshine up a person’s arse.

Whoever the guy who “created” that photo can be assured of a very well paid job with Ahmedenejad.
