Google has made sure you can view these imageries from the Earth View Gallery using the official Chrome Extension. The gallery features a color map that helps you visualize the collection of 2500+ locations. If you are fond of a particular color, you can use it to find a landscape that features your favorite color. Here is how you can do it:

Remember, every time you open Earth View, it displays a random beautiful landscape. So the color map is the best way to find out based on location and color. You will be able to zoom in and out and also go to a specific part of the map to find if there is an image that interests you.
