Sign Of The Freemasons

I thought I would give a brief overview of the history of the Freemasons, but when I looked up Wikipedia I realised it would be impossible to be succinct.

 

So I guess some highlights might be

* Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century.

 

* Two of the principal symbolic tools always found in a Lodge are the square and compasses.

 

* Freemasons use signs (gestures), grips or tokens (handshakes) and words to gain admission to meetings and identify legitimate visitors.

 

* Freemasons do charitable work for society which is commendable

 

* Entry to the world of Freemasonry is only possible under certain conditions and personal credentials, and only available to males.

 

This shot is from the Brisbane Masonic Building, and certainly suggests a level of structural substance that one would expect from such an institution.

The thin black lines in the lower shot are tree branches, which I was unable to avoid.
