Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia. His book, The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: Selections Annotated and Explained (Skylight Paths Publishing) presents a radical and modern science-based interpretation of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism. This way of living teaches that happiness and healing come to us in life when we learn to “live according to nature” - this is the ideal that Russell strives to reflect in all of his photography.

I first visited Piazza San Marco in November, 1963. The square was all but deserted, with nary a pigeon to be seen - but there was a clowder of dozens of cats which I never saw again on many subsequent visits! I had no camera with to record the event. Has anyone else seen such phenomenon?
