Photoshop? I've enhanced the image which is an overall purplish colour, while the sign is more orange coloured. I don't see a reflection of the pole on the ground, lilke I can see with the side rails. There's also no shadow behind the sign.
SpaceX demo flight a month away, will be “especially dangerous,” Musk says"Early flights are especially dangerous, as there’s a lot of new hardware."-Eric Berger
I wonder if the launch will push past the net than February announcement?

NASA and SpaceX are continuing to work on the activities leading toward the Demo-1, uncrewed flight test to the International Space Station. NASA and SpaceX are now targeting no earlier than February for the launch of Demo-1 to complete hardware testing and joint reviews. NASA and SpaceX will confirm a new target date after coordination with the Eastern Range and the International Space Station Program.Author Anna Heiney Posted on January 10, 2019 Categories Commercial Spaceflight, International Space Station, Kennedy Space Center, NASA, SpaceX

Anna Heiney is KSC's lead Public Affairs Writer. Per her LinkedIn profile, she does not work directly for NASA, she works for ASRC Federal, which is a government contractor, but it is owned by an Alaskan native American tribe, so I would presume she's not affected by the shutdown.

I am a staff writer for a high school newspaper, I am attempting to write a news article on the DM-1 mission. However, the shutdown has complicated things obviously. If you could guess, would the launch occur probably mid-February or early February if one could guess?
Asked whether the shutdown was fully or partially responsible for the delays, SpaceX spokeswoman Eva Behrend told SpacePolicyOnline.com today that “SpaceX is assessing any impacts of the partial government shutdown to our commercial launches. NASA continues to support Commercial Crew Program operations as we move toward our first demonstration mission of Crew Dragon next month.”
Replying to @SpcPlcyOnlineGood report Marcia. From my limited insight on this, the majority of the delay is due to technical issues. But as you say, difficult to determine for sure.
Other complications are also the Visiting Vehicle schedule, and there are times during the ISS orbit where no vehicle fly because of the orientation of the ISS orbit to the Sun - QuoteI forget what that is called, but these are all factors to be considered with every flight.

Demo-1 is targeting no earlier than Feb. 9 for launch, a source at KSC tells me.
The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral will launch the first Crew Dragon space capsule on an uncrewed demonstration mission, DM-1, to the ISS from pad 39A on February 9 at the very earliest. The launch time is around 11am EST if this timeframe and gets 22-26 minutes earlier each day. The launch window is instantaneous.

The 13-19.
