Neutral countries: skaters, cyclists and a harbour street

On a frozen canal skaters glide in the low sun beneath three windmills, a flag flying at the edge of the ice; a young woman and a man ride their bicycles along a crowded street, a small child in a seat behind another rider; on a quay lined with wooden houses people stand among handcarts before shop signs reading 'Bergens Kom…' and 'Detailutsalg'. The windmills point to the Netherlands, the signs to Bergen in Norway; both countries were neutral in the winter of 1939/40.
