From Iceland — Museum Trouble-makers In This Week's #GVPics Instagram Competition

Museum Trouble-makers In This Week’s #GVPics Instagram Competition

Published August 15, 2016

Iceland is windy and grey these days and it’s becoming darker. Fall is on its way and the winter depression is approaching. Not really though but please weather-gods, give us a few more sunny days! The misty and desaturated colours however, make for beautiful photos in this weeks entries.

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!

Be terrified, they peck your head if you infuriate them!

A favorite from last year's trip to the westfjords. #markmartucciphoto #iceland #wildernessculture #travelingthroughtheworld #bestoficeland #instamood #instatravel #icelandtravel #visiticeland #modernoutdoors #exploretocreate #everydayiceland #instagood #natgeo #aov #igersiceland #adventureinspired #folkgreen #hubs_united #wanderlust #lifeofadventure #optoutside #gvpics #mystopover #wheniniceland #bestoftheday #westfjords #tripiniceland #theoutbound #visualsoflife

Perfect weather for a sheep beach day!

#Raudasandur is an amazing red sand beach♥️. Apparently you can often see seals resting on the sandy banks there??. They were not around at the times we visited but these cute ones obliged. One by one they climbed on this rock as I photographed, only to look even more adorable ?, then one by one they hopped off the rock into the lagoon ?. #icelandicsheep #icelandsecret #alliceland #discovericeland #everydayiceland #wheniniceland #visitwestfjords ?????????

The most picturesque window view are found in old abandoned houses.
