One of the three photo exhibits currently at the Just for Laughs museum. This is a view of the fifth-floor gallery where one of the two concurrent exhibits of Respect is being shown (the other being held over near the Biosphere). These aerial photos of remoter parts of Canada are stunning, if a bit impersonal, showing us vast sections of the country most of us will never see in person.

The nine-buck admission also gets you the World Press Photo show, much of it pretty harrowing stuff - war and devastation, dead babies, mutilated people - but also some amazing sports and wildlife photography. There's also an exhibit for the 60th anniversary of Magnum Photos. The galleries are well lit and the occasional view of the city from the windows only adds to the overall effect. A must-see before the end of the month (the Biosphere edition of Respect is up till the end of next February).
