Another week has passed which means more travel, more photo opportunities and a lot more sun!

Now is the time to put up your sixties styled shades, dab some sunscreen on your nose, hike a mountain, see a play or fall in love. Whatever it is you find adventurous enough for this beautiful weather! Just remember to tag your photographs with #GVPics and you might be the winner of next week’s Instagram contest!

The runners-up:

Ah, you readers and your perfect photo-ops, how do you spot them?
