End of the Rainbow!

This is it - No Photoshop! I could see the end of the rainbow intersect the ground as I was driving to a good spot to shoot it. I ended up at Hopkins point in Mendon Ponds Park. I could see both ends hitting the pond and a full arc across the sky. Unfortunately, I was too damn close to it to get a good shot of the whole thing. I did a composite photo here - http://www.pbase.com/timbg/image/42701614
When a rainbow intersects the ground, you see a spot of very bright golden light - I beleive that is where the "pot of gold" story comes from.

I remember this rainbow. I had the same problem you did -- I was too close and didn't have a wider angle lens with me but there it was, the most beautiful rainbow I had seen in a long long long time and it was stretched out end to end in front of me. I like this shot of yours and I like how you did your composite too.

Amazing shot! How beautiful. We came across the end of a rainbow last month, but without our camera. Argh! This is excellent.
