The young James Tiberius Kirk, joyriding in his stepfather's antique Corvette, is pursued by a "motorcycle" cop.
Kirk jumps out of the car just before it goes over the cliff, barely avoiding sliding over the edge himself. This shot lasts only a couple of seconds, and it is obviously digitally enhanced, but the source shot is unmistakable: Rock of Ages' E.L.Smith quarry in Barre, Vermont.
The company is thanked in the closing credits. See also this newspaper article.*
Note: My "real" photo is from an observation platform over the quarry, taken during a factory tour, for which there is a nominal charge.
*The Rutland Herald article describes use of the quarry as a location shot in the film. If for some reason the article is no longer available on line, contact the poster.
Visit Instructions:New logs for waymarks must include a photo of the location. The photo should try and match, to the extent possible, the original present-day photo posted for the waymark.
