March 11, 2019: In late honor of the 150th anniversary of the first periodic table, post a picture showing an element of the periodic table. You can only refer to a sign element to qualify. Bonus points if the element was part of the first periodic table, or if a number within the photo has its atomic number or atomic mass.

Thanx to Alps' website for displaying iron.

I wonder if this challenge was inspired by the "Radium Springs" post in the city name thread.

Perhaps a little stretch on a couple of these.

There's a series of township roads in Isanti County, MN named after elements. Here's three of them, including a couple that this challenge probably isn't going to get elsewhere. I'd post my own pictures, but I don't have any.

The canal route (I-135) in Wichita, 2/21/2013

My 13-minute commute to work took 40 minutes today; I arrived 15 minutes late, and I was the first one here.  My boss took a half hour just to get out of his alley.  I would have made it pretty much on time, except that they closed down I-135–while I was on it.  Fortunately, I was at at the I-235/K-96 exit and could take an alternate route–which got hairy when the flatbed wrecker in front of me got stuck at a light, and then when the pickup in front of me couldn't make it up a railroad overpass on Broadway. . . I just drove on the left side of Broadway instead for a little while.  By 9:00 this morning, our crew in Kansas City already had four stuck work trucks and one wrecked, and the rest of their work for the day has all been rescheduled.  Omaha is supposed to get hit this afternoon; with their hills, we'll see how that goes.

March 15, 2019: Beware the Ides of March! Post photos of signs relating in some way to the assassination of Julius Caesar.

This would include, among other things:

-- names or titles of people involved in the attack, or ensuing events (including foreign-language variants, such as Julio, Kaiser, or Marco)

-- what they were wearing

-- place of the attack (city, or more specific location)

-- weapons used

My examples:

Caesar Avenue (Kingsville TX):




Cut Knife (Saskatchewan):
