Did you ever hear about this lake before?

Have you ever heard about Birmanian Lake? I got an email saying that a picture was taken from this place (which must be in a certain time of the year only) that shows a beautiful view of mountains and trees over a lake.

But when you take a look after rotating the picture right you can see a mother (who looks like Buddha) and a child. For me I believe it's a painting but the email insist that it is a real picture.

I searched Yahoo and Google and found nothing talking about the photo if it's real or not.

What do you think? These links shows the photos:
