One of my absolute favourite things to see every time I am in Vulcan. It’s unfortunate it’s kind of tucked away back in the bushes and the trees, and most people probably don’t even know it’s there, but this is where you get to you compare your Vulcan salute hand with that of none other than Leonard Nimoy himself, a.k.a. Mr. Spock. This commemorate his visit to the town in 2010 where he allowed them to do a cast. Although Mr. Nimoy is the longer with us, he was a great friend to this town, and really helped put them on the map.
Due to the bushes encroaching on this bust, it's almost a hidden gem. It's a very nice dedication and it's cool to see just how large Nimoy's hands were. (he was a musician after all, so it makes sense) Very nice bust and I am really glad we stopped by it while we were in town. Recommend it to any Star Trek fan passing through to stop and check it out!
