Looking at the Icebergs, Near Franklin Island, Ross Sea, Antarctica in 2006. Camille Seaman  by [Jeffrey Kluger](https://time.com/author/jeffrey-kluger/)  ## Jeffrey Kluger Editor at Large Apr 16, 2014 4:06 PM UTC Earth doesn’t do ugly. There’s virtually no place you can live on the planet that at some point can’t knock you out with its flat-out gorgeousness—and we’re not just talking rainforests and coral reefs here. Badlands are anything but bad when you appreciate their raw, rugged beauty; the same is true of tundras and deserts and sprawling plains—fruited or not. The odds are at least one of these bowl-you-over vistas is located in your part of the world. OK, so prove it. To honor Earth day 2014, Google+ and Time want to see your best picture of your beautiful Earth, which you can share with the straight-up hashtag #MyBeautifulEarth. Google+ will feature your images on a page of all of that local loveliness from now through April 22, which can be seen and savored in real time, as the page grows. Time’s photo editors will cull through the submissions, and the best of them will appear here on TIME.com on Earth Day. Earth being what it is—and people being what we are—it’s almost certain that at some point you’ve looked around yourself and wished that everybody could see the mesa or glacier or mountain or river or coastline or canyon or valley or bay just outside your window. On April 22, 2014, they could. _To share your photo, go to_ [_plus.google.com_](http://plus.google.com) _and click on “Share what’s new” in the Share box at the top of your stream, or open the Google+ app on your phone, and click the blue camera icon. Add a description for your photo, and include the hashtag #mybeautifulearth. Add your photo to your post, then add “Public” in the “To:” box. Click Share, and you’ve shared your part of the planet with the world._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/63872/earth-day-photos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/63872/earth-day-photos/"},"headline":"We Want Your Pictures for Earth Day","datePublished":"2014-04-16T16:06:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:19:14.697Z","description":"Google+ and TIME are teaming up to find beautiful pictures of our planet.
