My friend and I walked along a pavement on a wet day. The rainbow went from infront of us, like a flyover , up into the sky and around to our right. I thought it was nice, but was told weeks later by a pal that you can't be at the end of a rainbow. If thats true, I will just have to accept it. I find it strange that my friend and I saw the same 'unreal' rainbow. We hadn't been drinking!

No, someone else might see a place at the end of a rainbow that you are at, but you won't see it...,,,

of course you can't a rainbow is sunlight reflected in raindrops. The light is broken up into the light spectrum and you see the colours because of the angle of reflection. As you go towards it the angle changes so the colours are now coming from a different point where the angle is correct

rainbows are circles.. i was in an airplane years ago and we looked out the window and the shadow of the plane was right in the middle of a rainbow circle, you could see it reflected against the huge white clouds, it was really neat

Interesting trivia. If you look at the center of the circle formed by a rainbow, you will see the shadow of your head.
And no, you can never be at the end of it.

yeah, from what I have heard you can't be at the end of the rainbow because it involves the sky and some rain.

I used to work on the 17th floor of a building, got to see all sorts of amazing weather scenes, one day I saw both ends on the road below

You can be at the end of a rainbow, but you won't be able to see it.

It's impossible to be at the end because the illusion is caused by refraction, viewing at an angle, somebody at a different place to you will not even see it.

at the end of every rainbow - there's a dark cloud.

NEVER BECAUSE IT'S THE SHAPE OF THE EARTH AND SKY MAKE'S THE ANGLE
