Our Favourite #GVpics From This Week

We at the Grapevine have had a blast looking at all the photographs that have been tagged with the #GVpics hashtag on Instagram this last week. The entries for this week’s contest were simply amazing! It’s like a collective visual diary of different places and people in Iceland—seeing the country from other people’s eyes really makes you appreciate this beautiful country.

Here are the pictures we thought were funny, beautiful and/or interesting. Remember to keep tagging your Instagram photos with #GVpics for a chance at being the winner of our weekly contest!

Aesthetically pleasing, this one is very pleasing.

This geothermal pool is so beautiful.

Probably one of the happiest #man at this time with one of the most #amazing #hottub in the #westfjords of #Iceland. #breathtaking #view #landscapesoficeland

Meeh…

Second best part of a road trip in Iceland (beside the unbelievable scenery, of course!) are the hundreds of sheeps you come across, like this one!! #iceland #ísland #roadtrip #sheep #snæfellsnes #mystopover #animals #GVpics

Do people just stash their old couches in the alleys?

We know the feeling…

Away from home, stuck on the plane in Iceland! With #WoWair we landed in Iceland more than half an hour ago and we are stuck on the plane due the snow storm, after two long weeks holiday, that’s how Iceland welcoming me back home? #Plane #Iceland #Icelander #Icelandic #MyIcelandlife #UtravelHK #Snowstorm #Storm #Keflavik #KEF #Stuck #Homeawayfromhome #Awayfromhome #StuckinIceland #天氣不似預期 #GVpics #21st2016trip #Lifeforadventure #Absoluteiceland

The winner of this week’s contest used video recording in an original way and made us laugh even though the sheep looks kind of stressed. Dear Fabricio, you get a very special Grapevine T-shirt and a goodie bag! Congratulations!

And the winner is:
