Geocache Description:


M. Burns, a famous photographer using drones to take aerial pictures and videos, was in Brussels to cover the Tour de France 2019 first weekend which was taking place in the Belgian capital that year.

As he knew the stages were going to go over (and under) the Montgomery Square, he booked a hotel right on the roundabout.

The day before Le Grand Départ, he wanted to take aerial footages of the area. So he took his drone, got out of his 5 stars hotel and started to look for a nice launching spot. As he was aware Montgomery was like a huge clock, he started to walk clockwise. He crossed a pedestrian crossing, then another. He then noticed quite a nice building hosting a famous “high” school. He continued his search, same direction, noticing just before the next pedestrian crossing on the corner at #148 a building named after the square. He crossed the (double) pedestrian crossing and arrived at the perfect launch field. It was then 03:00*.

From there, he decided to go to the first nice building he saw before he reached his starting point. He took some nice pictures and videos there and he thought he might try later contacting the school to see if they were interested in purchasing them.

He had heard there was a strange piece of furniture placed as an art piece somewhere on the square. Quickly looking on his smartphone where it was supposed to be, he drove his drone right to it and took further nice photos there.

He then flew towards the hotel where he was staying. Maybe they would lower their invoice in exchange of some nice videos.

Battery was getting low so he returned the drone and landed it on the same spot it took off.

Before picking his drone up he looked on its GPS to see the path he just did with it... and smiled.

 

What did he see on the GPS? A ...
