I think flyingmonk took pictures on the other side of the world. Do the lake and mountains look similar at greater distance?

Default Swiss Alps

Samedan/St.Moritz









The flying qualities of the Buecker Jungmeister are closer to the RV's than any other airplane I've ever flown.
The one without the engine is pretty amazing too, winch start from Samedan
8000 feet climb to top off at 4200m over the Bernina Mountain.
