#GVpics – This Weeks Winner Of The Instagram Contest

We were so excited going through all of the beautiful, weird and amazing pictures posted under the hashtag #GVpics this week. Instagram really has proven that you don’t need a fancy camera to make good art, just a high-megapixel smartphone camera, and a good idea.

Although there can only be one winner of the weekly #GVpics Instagram competition, we get so many submissions that it would be irresponsible not to nominate a few runner-ups. The winner this week will receive a Grapevine T-shirt and goodie bag, so congratulations Kimberly!

This Week’s Runners-Up:

TFW you’re 10 minutes late to work and it’s been snowing and your bike looks like this.

Sometimes you gotta take it all in. @alina_one_step_closer looking out over five glaciers in the clouds while dangling above a 100m drop. #everydayiceland #mystopover A photo posted by JackyGoede (@jackygoede) on Jan 27, 2016 at 9:42pm PST

Things white people do.

And that’s why you don’t have a white or grey house up north. #colourpop #yellow #101rvk #reykjavik #iceland #littlehouses #standout #reykjavikloves #gvpics #corrugated #oldarchitecture #snowy A photo posted by Jessica Bowe (@jrbowe) on Jan 28, 2016 at 9:47am PST

Hm, it’s purdy. Life is probably more fun in a yellow house.

We hadn’t noticed those lying around in Reykjavík, good eye Jessica Bowe! We wouldn’t trust that the sofas are clean, though.

Glacial rivers come with so much force and out-of-this-world shade of blue. It is hauntingly beautiful and draws you in instantly… If only it was a few degrees warmer :)#Iceland #hraunfossar #barnafoss #moderntrail #gvpics #PPEssentials @passionpassport @timberland #contest #timberland A photo posted by ICELANDIC EXPLORER (@icelandic_explorer) on Jan 31, 2016 at 7:18am PST

The Icelandic horsies get to do so much modelling work that they’ve mastered their best look: neighing!
