A cormorant at Lago Nero

Today we visited Lago Nero (Black lake), near Montalto Dora city (Piedmont, Italy).

There are other two lake nearby: Pistono lake and Sirio lake. This place is locate over the conjunction between African and European tectonic plate, which create a special landscape made of hills and some small deep lake.

Weather was not good, some clouds and white flat light over the water. Nevertheless, there was the opportunity for some photographic shot.

Here we met a cormorant. It stayed all the time on a stick, creating a beautiful reflection in the water.

It's time for a short bath!

And here two coots swimming next to him.
