Spinoza Wetlands 230/47/22

I have plans to continue my little tours in Second Life. What better to start nearby. Spinoza aims to replicate the Dutch cultural climate of the 17th Century. Good idea and well supported by the buildings and atmosphere here. This image could well have been painted in that era. A painters' view, but what about about real life: the wars, the political murders, the tulip bulb mania. Does this remind you of something?
