Street Art Came To Life In This Week’s #GVPics Competition

Street Art Came To Life In This Week’s #GVPics Competition

This week’s Instagram competition photos were so thought provoking, humorous, artistic and beautiful. We have said it before and we’re saying it again: it’s really hard for us to pick out ten pictures as our runners-up and then, of course, a #GVPics winner. Nevertheless, this time we chose an awesome photo of Reykjavík’s street art to win the competition.

Check out the winner and runners-up and remember to keep tagging your pictures with #gvpics for a chance at becoming next week’s champion!

The runners-up:

Glory of the Westfjords. Iceland’s most remote region, with majestic landscapes and extreme roads.

Who told such a good joke that the Icelandic horse, full of ancient wisdom, began to laugh? We really want to hear the joke!

And Leonardo the goat was like: “Hello family of humans! It’s nice of you to visit me but…where the hell are your horns? Do you wanna borrow mine? Is that what you are here for?!”

Deep. This is deep.

Hey guys, look behind you! The volcano is erupting and this freaky robot is destroying the city. How can you sit there so calmly?!

Touché! Iceland definitely isn’t on planet Earth.

As they say: quiet the mind, and the soul will speak.
