## Caption

"Christmas Eve in the center of #Reykjavík is a quiet one, as all the locals head home to be with their families. As I strolled around the city, I ended up at Reykjavíkurtjörn (Lake Tjörnin for short), and watched as people feed the birds with bread that had been left out by one of the bakeries. The frozen lake and church in the background made for a beautiful wintery scene that I did not initially expect when I took the photo." - sophiagroves | December 24, 2016 | #GettyImagesNews
