The weird thing is, I took a photo around two weeks ago, here in Malawi, of
a rainbow ending in front of trees - the other end was in the middle of a
road, and I have a picture with a car driving through it. (Mine are nothing
as good as the ones on that website, though.)

I'd never seen a rainbow end in front of anything before!

And of course no pot of gold.  The funny thing is that Malawians don't have
the idea that there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.  When I've
shown my photo to expats here they all ask about the pot of gold, and the
Malawians all look kind of blank because they don't know what we mean.

It's funny, the kinds of cultural differences you'd never think of if you
didn't come across them by chance.
