Best Vancouver Instagram photos (49th edition) | Daily Hive

Vancouver is home to some amazing photographers, and many of them are on Instagram. Every week, we receive thousands of photo submissions by email and social media with the hashtag #DailyHiveVan and/or #VancityBuzz.

A compilation of the best photos in and around Metro Vancouver is created every week; if you want to get noticed, simply upload your photo on Instagram and use the hashtag.

From the best of nature to the best of the urban, and everything in between, Vancouver’s best photos on Instagram will be featured in our next weekly photo gallery!

When the sky’s kickin off and you can’t make it to the mountains on time… ______________________________________________________ #reflectiongram #moodygrams #gearednomad #uncalculated #vancityvibe #sunset_vision #street_vision #Vzcomood #uncalculated #fatalframes #heatercentral #agameoftones #streetdreamsmag #artofvisuals #aov #way2ill #createcommune #watchthisinstagood #theIMAGED #ig_color #ruskpromo #superhubs #main_vision #beautifuldestinations #main_vision #wonderfulplaces #vancouver_canada #canadaworld

Awesome capture of @mrsyndicate in his natural environment, on top of a mountain lake in @ssgparkspics Golden Ears Provincial Park. Shot by @jefflombardo. It might be hard to see, because it’s camouflaged, but he’s actually floating in a inflatable dinghy. Gotta squint your eyes just right to see it.

I think I want to get myself a drone! This one shot with the @djiglobal Inspire drone! @bcplacestadium hosted nightly victory ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics! I recently found out that BC Place was built in 1983 to rejuvenate the False Creek area! #bcplace #tcapproved #lodenconcierge

I attended the vigil at the Vancouver Art Gallery to capture moments with my Daily Hive (@vancitybuzz) team and stopped my car to take this pic on my way home. #Pride

It’s rare to see the mountains so clearly in the distance behind the city of Vancouver. It’s so quiet and still out.

I hike for the experience, the feeling of freedom, the peace and quiet, and the reminder that I’m a visitor on this planet. I hike because I love to move, I love trees and mountains, fresh air, wildlife, and earning a view. Capturing nature through photography is a hobbie instilled in me by my father. Landscape photography and hiking have always been two of my favourite things; digital cameras along with social media have made it easy to share the beautiful places that I’m lucky to visit. I don’t hike just for the photographs but I love photography and I love to share with the potential of inspiring others. . . . #hiking #mountainlovers #beautifulBC #naturelovers #explorecanada #pnw #westcoast #mothernature #hike_bc #fitness #landscapephotography #hike #outdoors #chilliwack #igersvancouver #wanderlust #pnwonderland #womenwhohike #wildernessculture #yvr #hikingculture #vancitybuzz #myyogaplus #girlswhohike #damgooddays #theoutdoorfolk #happyplace
