A vast field of sunflowers in full bloom offers one of the most evocative spectacles of the Murgian summer. The flowers, with their bright yellow corollas, create a golden sea that magnificently contrasts with the hills in the background. Near Minervino Murge, sunflowers represent one of the alternative crops to wheat that are diversifying the agriculture of Alta Murgia. The hills behind the field, with their brown and green tones, add depth to the composition. The slightly veiled sky diffuses a soft light that enhances the colors of the flowers. An image that captures the vitality and beauty of the Apulian countryside in summer.
