Photographer captures rare full circle rainbow


The unusual phenomena was captured by Birdseye View Aerial Photographer Colin Leonhardt, 46, during a trip over Cottesloe Beach

You'll struggle to find the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow - because it is a perfect full circle.

The unusual phenomena was captured by Birdseye View Aerial Photographer Colin Leonhardt, 46, during a trip over Cottesloe Beach in Western Australia.

Colin says the sight is extremely rare and was sighted from the air as the pilot flew around a rain shower.

Colin, from Perth, Western Australia, said: 'They are rare - and even harder to photograph.

'We were coming back from a routine aerial photoshoot when the pilot flew around a rain shower.

'As we went through the trailing edge of the rain, the sun was low and setting and the sunlight just created this amazing rainbow. It just evolved in front of us.'
