          ... or Austrian

          Problem is there are simply many hundreds of lakes in glacial valleys in the Alps and there are no cows visible (the colour varies with regions!)

              Yes, it is Austria, but where?

                According to Google this is a cow from that very place. Sorry, can't confirm it as my Austrian cow knowledge is very poor

                  That cow looks as if it has a reflection of the Zellersee in its eye.

                  The Zeller See is a small freshwater lake in the Austrian Alps. It takes its name from the resort of Zell Am See which is located on a small delta protruding into the lake. The lake is 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) long and 1.5 kilometres (1 mile) wide. It is up to 69 metres deep and at an elevation of 750 metres above sea level.

                  The lake is fed by numerous small mountain streams in summer, but no streams flow out of it, therefore water loss is solely by evaporation or underground seepage. In winter the lake completely freezes and is used for winter sports. In summer the lake is used for pleasure boating (boats powered by combustion engines are not allowed except for the ferries which cross the width of the lake from Zell to Thumersbach, so "elektroboots" can be hired instead). The water is very clear and suitable for swimming or diving, but can be chilly.

                      jms seems to have gone AWOL so I'll assume I'm right (98% sure, anyway).

                      This rather surrealistic landscape needs an answer.

                            Yes, but that's slightly too vague! Where in N. America?
