Rebel County Quiz

Inspired by the contest quiz fever that seems to be tearing through my bloglines subscriptions, I've decided to join the fun and create my own quiz on the theme of County Cork.

The challenge:
To answer four questions based on photographs taken from the Peter Cox Photography web site.

The winning categories:

First entirely correct entry.

The funniest responses (as judged by me because, hey, this is my little domain).

All other correct entries will be entered into a random drawing.

The rules:
Answers should be sent to annbscanlan at hotmail dot com.
Please put Contest or Quiz in the Subject line so if my spam filter eats your mail, it will be easy to find amid all of the requests to enlarge my weapon of love, buy replica rolexes, and imagine that I am healthy.
Deadline for entering is Saturday, 1 March. Winners will be announced Sunday, 2 March.

The prize:
Each winner will receive one unframed print, courtesy of Peter Cox photography. The print selected will be based on what we currently have in stock. I will make every effort to make sure it is a Cork photograph.

Additional information:
Each question is listed after its related photograph.
You can click on any photo to open its page in a new browser window or tab.
Using Google, Wikipedia, etc. is definitely allowed.

The questions:

Bucking the Trend, Gougane Barra
1. Which 6th Century Saint built a hermitage on the island in the lake of Gougane Barra?


Evening, Dun Lough Pier
2. What washed up here on 2 July 2007?


The Healy Pass, on the Cork-Kerry border
3. When and why was the road through this pass built?


Galley Head, Near Clonakilty
4. Which great Irish leader, nicknamed "the Big Fella" and known for his strategy of fighting the British in "flying columns," was born near Clonakilty?

Bonus Question: One of County Cork's nicknames is in the title of this post. Name another nickname for the county.

Thank you for playing.
