Tent pegging at Flemish Farm, Windsor.
This photo won an equestrian photography competition, with a days tuition from Kit Houghton as the principal prize.
Denver International Airport's main lobby is covered by a tent. Here's a closeup of one of the "pegs". I love working with my Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX diagonal fisheye lens. You can walk right up to something like this, point the camera at it and make sure you have the top and bottom in the frame (and not your toes) then shoot. DxO Optics Pro automatically corrects curved lines that should be straight, if you like.
Tent pegging is practiced around the world, but its popular in Australia, India, Oman, Pakistan, South Africa, and United Kingdom.
It was popular at the time of Mughal rule in sub continent and continue in British rule as well. People of that time kept it alive and transfer this game into their generations. That's why this game is still alive in this region and very popular in many areas of Pakistan. People who are keeping it alive hold the Tent Pegging Festival in their areas. Event days are great celebrations for the local people and they watch this game with keen interest and encourage players with their appreciation with loud shout and applause.
High authorities of Govt. need to work on it for local players to participate in International events as Tent Pegging is part of Olympic Council of Asia and International Federation for Equestrian Sports.

Didn't notice this little chap on the peg when I took the photo. Very pleased when I downloaded the image to my computer and saw what I got. =)
Some idiot, who might have been me, left the pegs out in today's thunder storms. As a result I hung the pegs out to dry, and then noticed there was a depth of field experiment.
I took this photograph of these colourful pegs earlier this week. The wonderful sun light deffinetly made the image look very summery.
