MYSTERY PHOTO: Where is this national banner flying?

Today is national Flag Day, so here’s a photo showing a flagpole within the USA. Just where is it?  Figure it out, and send your answers to ebrack2@gmail.com, and include your hometown.  

Three regulars identified the recent mystery, with Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C. the first in. He was followed by Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., and then by George Graf of Palmyra, Va. The photo came from Michael Clark of Atlanta, via Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill. 

Peel wrote: “Today’s mystery photo was shot in the sea-port town of Ålesund, Norway on the outer island of Aspøya, approximately 230-miles northwest of Oslo. Ålesund is the gateway town to the spectacular Geirangerfjord, otherwise known as ‘the crown jewel of the Norwegian fjords.’  The town is noted for its concentration of Art Nouveau architecture, which is evident in today’s mystery photo. In fact, the photo was taken within walking distance (less than 600-feet) of the Stornespiren/Prestebrygga Cruise Pier from where the cruise ships dock to allow passengers to disembark and visit the town of Ålesund.”
