In the heart of the Alta Murgia National Park, a solitary oak stands majestically on a golden hill. The tree, with its dark green foliage, represents a focal point in this essential landscape where the intense blue sky meets the undulations of the terrain. The late afternoon light illuminates the hill creating shades ranging from gold to orange. Minervino Murge, one of the municipalities of the national park, is located near this view. The scattered oaks in the Murgian territory have survived centuries of deforestation to create pastures and cultivated fields, becoming iconic elements of the landscape.
