## Caption

Today is the June #solstice, which is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest in the Southern Hemisphere.

This photo shows a snifter and a splash of cognac, making a splendid liquid lens that captures the summer solstice boating on the Foster City, CA, USA, lagoon with warmth and fascination. 

Spectral filtering was the intended purpose, but the variable Lagrange invariant across the field with the use of a Nikon D7100 now seems obvious in retrospect. [OPN 2021 Photo Contest Honorable Mention]
