The frozen surface of Turtle Lake in the city of Tbilisi, Georgia.

Turtle Lake is an extremely small (basically a pond) lake, located in the hills above Tbilisi's Vake park. 

Accessible via a winding road, or via a newly installed aerial tram, this small body of water is a popular place for locals to congregate.
Newly re-opened aerial tram. View from the city of Tbilisi.

The Georgian capital of Tbilisi used to be home to an intricate system of aerial trams, that whisked people from lower elevations to the various hilltops around the city.

Most of these trams fell into disrepair following the collapse of the Soviet Union. One of these old tram stations recently re-opened. This tram connects Vake Park with the small Turtle Lake, which is located on a hillside above. 

You can even attach your bicycles to the tram (as is visible in this picture).
