Dammit. >_<

I know I've said this at least once, but I've got to start using harder pics.

I basically just gave my record away.

And technically, it's Augusta National Golf Club...but whatever.

A very famous structure came from this place. What it is and the closest major city will suffice.

Half right, wrong city. Bigger...colder...more deadly.


EDIT:
I have to give it to you. Further research shows that some of the limestone did come from a quarry outside Indy. That quarry also supplied a great deal of the stone and is actually just outside Chicago.

Well, I guess I managed to make this one a little more challenging...

Once again, a technical correction. This is not in fact the SSC near the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (planned to have a circumference of 87 km), which was abandoned in 1993. This complex is Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), and the large ring is the 6 km-circumference Tevatron, the world's highest energy particle collider (until the LHC at CERN comes fully online sometime in early 2008).

Nice job.

Perhaps I should've made myself more clear...you got it right.

You're up!
