There are beautiful places to see, even like here from the bus window on the way from the airport in to the city centre.
This is Hafrsfjord, a place that has an important role in Norwegian history.
The "Battle of Hafrsfjord" is famous and took place here.

    Heyrði þú í Hafrsfirði, Did you hear in Hafrsfjord
    hvé hizug barðisk how hard they fought
    konungr enn kynstóri the high born king
    við Kjötva enn auðlagða; against Kjotve the Rich.
    knerrir kómu austan, ships came from the east
    kapps of lystir, craving battle,
    með gínöndum höfðum with gaping heads
    ok gröfnum tinglum. and prows sculpted.

    :-)

    Looks an awful lot like Clontarf Bay in Dublin, a very important place in Irish history. If I remember well, the last Viking raiders were defeated there. Dublin is a viking name, by the way, Dubh Lynn.
    Is the building on the jetty protecting something?

    I am wondering what is being protected with the roof at the end of the jetty. Great shot from a bus. Diane
