Serra del Corvo Lake, also known as Lake Basentello, represents a precious water reserve in the heart of Alta Murgia. This artificial basin, created in the 1970s, has perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape, becoming an important stopover point for migratory birds. In the image, the calm waters of the lake reflect the sky and surrounding hills, creating a highly evocative mirror effect. The shores, where riparian vegetation has taken hold, contrast with the typical aridity of the Murgian territory. Poggiorsini, a small town overlooking the lake, offers panoramic views of this corner of unspoiled nature.
