THE Traveler: Byron Bennett of North St. Paul.

The scene: As a fisherman walks in the distance, ring-billed gulls line a breakwater at Saxon Harbor, Wis., on Lake Superior's South Shore.

The trip: "My wife and I were completing the Lake Superior Circle Tour this fall and decided to stop at Saxon Harbor," Bennett wrote in an e-mail. They wanted to see how the harbor was recovering after a July 11, 2016, storm caused a devastating flood. "It appeared that there is a long way to go, unfortunately," he wrote. Saxon Harbor was the couple's final stop in a car trip that brought them from Minnesota's North Shore to Ontario, Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin's South Shore.

How He got the shot: Bennett used a Fuji Xpro2 with a 55-200mm lens. "I wanted to include the fisherman in the background in motion, so I took multiple shots as he walked along the outer breakwater. I also wanted the wall that the gulls were on to be a leading line. Luckily the birds were content to sit and pose for me," Bennett wrote in an e-mail. He continued, "I like the geometry of the photo: the flat horizon line of the big lake contrasted with the acute angle of the breakwater wall."
