Can you identify the view in this painting?
I bought this painting, by someone named Gombert, at the local Habitat ReStore after admiring it a long time. Can anybody identify the view? I think it's a real place, probably somewhere out west.

It looks like the view overlooking Swift Current Lake from the Many Glacier Lodge at Glacier National Park in Montana. I have a photo on my cell phone camera taken last July from a different angle which looks like the view in your painting. It may not be, but it looks like it is.

I immediately thought of Lake Louise in Banff. It's a similar perspective that I'm reminded of, but I really don't know. Many Glacier looks like a good possibility. Have you tried Google Images?

No matter how long the hill, if you keep pedaling you'll eventually get up to the top.

At first I thought it looked a lot like Mt. Gould across Swiftcurrent lake -- but the painting looks like there's a small glacier to the left of the peak. Maybe it's just a generic mountain-at-the-end-of-a-lake landscape.

I was thinking Horseshoe Lake in Mammoth.

It made me think of the lake/mountain from this video:

I don't think it is right, as the mountain doesn't quite look right and the lake is too small. Beautiful view though.

It looks similar to Many Glacier and I have been there. However, the ridge line to the left of the tall peak is kind of jagged, with tooth like peaks. So this cannot be view from Many GlacierRaybo wrote:The view across Swiftcurrent lake in Many Glaicer:
