Guy Laliberte: Cirque Du Soleil

Gaia Dept: The CEO of the Montreal circus troupe took stunning photographs of the Earth from the International Space Station as he spent 10 days in orbit, 350 km above our planet, according to CBC. Quebec City-born Laliberte also created a photo book, also called Gaia and published last year, that shows the beauty and fragility of the Earth from space. A challenging shoot Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte brought back more than memories from his foray into space tourism in 2009 . Sixty of his photographs are on show in the exhibit Gaia, which opened Thursday evening at the Thompson Landry Gallery in Toronto. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
