Oslo, Norway: Frimurerlosjen

Here's a classic example of how I walk around a city. I see something interesting, and snap a photo. Sometimes the object proves interesting, sometimes it doesn't.

This translates to the Freemasonry Lodge, located in downtown Oslo. I'm not going to tell you that I know a great deal about the Freemasons, even though my father was a member for reasons I could never understand. The organization has been in Norway since 1749. The group was said to have about 20,000 members in 2009, and members must be Christians. 

Well, I'm not dropping in for a recruiting visit to a secret society. But it is an interesting building.
