Thanks Last (my English spelling is just as bad as my Norwegian spelling)

Meanwhile in Germany name this small lake - near a bigger lake - near a really big mountain.

Not it's not Untersee. Both the lake in this pictures and the nearby bigger lake are much smaller. The mountain though couldn't be any bigger.

Boudhanath Stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal.
I haven't been there but I believe it's a UNESCO site and one the largest Buddhist stupas in the world.

Yes Greg, spelling aside :). I'm not sure about the store but this is looking back at downtown Lahaina on Maui from further along the waterfront.
Sadly seems like it's been devastated by the recent wildfire. I remember eating an ice cream under the huge banyan tree over there in the main street.

Sorry Keith,

Your 2 guess's are a bit out of shot, but close by.

Aim high was my high school motto- I never really knew what that meant until now.
