OK FOLKS, CAN'T SEEM TO STAY CONNECTED LONGER THAN A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME...HAVING A TECHNICIAN CHECK IT OUT LATER. SO IF I DON'T VISIT OR RESPOND TO ANYTHING, IT'S BECAUSE I'M ONCE AGAIN DISCONNECTED....ARRRGHHH DRIVING ME NUTS...AND HAPPY NEW YEAR ;)
Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
Mute? Does that mean shut up and enjoy the snow? LOL I love it, Rainy! How large is the population where you live?
30 Dec 2008 5:10am
@Bookfool: Good question Booky, and I probably should know, but hell I don't even know If I can stay connected for five minutes ;)

dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
They should use buttons with big letters like these on the TV remotes so that one can find them easily when the adverts come on! Would be interesting to know how they got up there to do this.
30 Dec 2008 6:25am
@dobbino: I'd like to know too, I'd especially like to have MUTE buttons in bright lights for when it's dark you know ;) thanks a lot Rob!

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Intriguing image, Lorraine.
The repetition of the word on the white walls looks like a metaphor. Of what?
Mmm

30 Dec 2008 7:11am
@Paco Díaz: Good question Paco, I have no idea ;)
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
I wonder what this repetition means… An intriguing graffiti…
30 Dec 2008 7:27am
@Calusarus: Interesting isn't it, I've seen it branded here and there and I think the message is good, sure Beats 'shut up' lol
k@ from Paris, France
Quelqu'un qui crie quatre fois Mute, ça crie la souffrance rentrée... Merci de l'avoir déniché et de lui avoir ainsi donner la parole... NOT mute anymore thanx to U*
30 Dec 2008 9:19am
@k@: Wow k j'aime la facon que tu penses ;)
kerfendal from Paris, France
c'est fou comme les mots sur un mur peuvent crier trés fort, surtout sur un mur immaculé. Le paradoxe c'est qu'ils invoquent le silence !
30 Dec 2008 9:20am
@kerfendal: Ah ces messages qui nous intriguent ou revoltent, moi j'trouve qu'on parle tous trop ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
MUTE? Absolutely nothing will quiet me now. Subliminal messages all around us.
Interesting message they try to get across.
Great find. Nice lines and angles, good one Lorraine.
30 Dec 2008 10:02am
@Barbara: I like that, thanks a lot Barb ;)
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
Not exactly a beautification, an artistic touch?? Mute... what does it mean? Mmh...
..Really an interesting shot, Lorraine!
30 Dec 2008 11:02am
@Nina: I wish I knew, interesting 'cause I've seen it branded here and there on different buildings, and it's intriguing ;) thanks a lot Nina!
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
I am totally against this idiot's destruction of someone's property. But then his message complains about the rules in which society operates and the rule in which the homeowner claims his property. An interesting dilemma. But, I'm on the homeowner's side on this one! It might help the tagger's side if he was just the least bit artistic.
30 Dec 2008 11:04am
@Craig: Well you'll be happy to know it's a building, not a house and it is A St. Vincent de Paul counter, which is a place where poor people can buy clothes, and trinkets very cheaply, thanks Craig :)

@zanfifotos: J'aime bien ton interpretation, merci beaucuop Vassili Kandinski :)
marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
Il faut défendre le silence, car le silence est menacé...
mais pas à n'importe quel prix !!!
je ne supporte pas les tags sur une propriété privée, il y a des supports pour les artistes taggeurs, pas ce genre d'individu qui détériore ce qui ne lui appartient pas !!! yes, marianne se rebiffe, et voit tout rouge lol
je te souhaite une très belle fin d'année, si tu réveillonnes, j'espère que ce sera dans l'allégresse !!! faites sauter les bouchons de champagne !!!
gros bisous Lorraine !
30 Dec 2008 11:54am
@marianne: Bonjour Marianne, c'est un edifice qui comporte un comptoir St-Vincent de Paul, qui vende des choses, des vetements, etc...pour quelques dollar pour aider les pauvres :)
@Alun Lambert: Thanks a lot Alun, glad you enjoyed :)
JJ from Jersey City, United States
An appropriate graffitti shot for your predicament, hope the techy fixes your PC quickly for you
30 Dec 2008 2:26pm

Cheryl from Texas, United States
someone worked hard to get up there! I hope you're pc problems get fixed right away so you can keep your sanity!!
30 Dec 2008 2:33pm
@Cheryl: You're not kidding, all day I've managed to get in for 2 minutes and kicked out or not allowed in at all, I'm hoping it's fixed ;)
dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United States

Mute, Mute, Mute, Mute ...
C'est très dificile de garder le silence !
Joli prise Lorraine !
Est-ce un problème de PC ou de lien internet !
Bonne Année à toi et tous les tiens !

Mute Mute Mutated
More practice needed

Nicely spotted

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
I hope you get those problems solved soon. Internet withdrawl can be a horrible.
30 Dec 2008 5:27pm
@Michael Rawluk: I bet, mine just allows me to come in for a minute than kicks me out, right now I've been on 7 minutes, I'm in awe ;)
Janice Thomson from Canada
Good eye Lorraine and very appropriate for your computer troubles :)
I wonder what the graffitist (new word- heh) meant ....this shot is quite intriguing indeed.
30 Dec 2008 6:22pm
@Janice Thomson: It's been a real b.... anyhoo, I seem to be able to stay on for longer than 5 minutes, that's an improvement...This building is a comptoir St-Vincent de Paul, so one wonders, why Mute is written all over ;) thanks a lot my dear :)
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Sorry that you are having problems with your system. Not nice. Not sure what to say about the "artistic touches" on this person's wall. Wonder if they did it themselves.
30 Dec 2008 6:29pm
@Marion: Hey Marion, I've never been kicked so often in my life, very insulting LOL don't know what the thinking was behind the Mute, but I've seen it all over town, I'm thinking an investigation may be waranted ;)
Suzanne from Huntington Bch, United States
Hmm, Mute?...if only the graffitti "artist" kept his spray can mute. Oh well, it makes a great image.
30 Dec 2008 7:07pm
@Suzanne: It's the strangest thing Suzanne, I've seen it all over town, but only on Buildings, not houses...this one houses a St-Vincent de Paul, which is basically a store for the poor ...thanks a lot for your visit :)
Betty from New Jersey, United States
I hope your connection problems are solved soon, Lorraine! Looks like "mute" is appropriate for you today! Happy New Year!
30 Dec 2008 7:27pm
@Betty: It's Uncanny, really lol thanks so much Betty and a Happy, joyful New Year to you too ;)
Pixim from Nice, France
Le froid qui fait du mal à ta liaison internet ??? Tu deviens muette ??? Quoiqu'il en soit, je serais toujours impressionné par ces graffeurs capables de faire leurs tags aux endroits les plus périlleux...
Je t'entends plus, Bonnes fêtes de nouvelle année 2009, amusez-vous bien ;)
30 Dec 2008 8:33pm
@Pixim: lol Bonjour Eric, tes commentaires me font toujours sourire, merci beaucoup et bonne année à toi aussi ;)
