LOCAL LENS Mount Babadag, or “Father Mountain,” stands tall near Fethiye in southwest Türkiye. Its two summits, the highest at an elevation of more than 6,400 feet, face each other, with a flood valley between them. Pine, cedar, and strawberry groves can be found on the steep slopes. Because of its stunning view of the sea, stable weather conditions, and sheer height, Mount Babadag is one of the most popular paragliding spots in the world. n Andrea Nagy joined the Foreign Service in 2016 and has completed tours in Chengdu, Brasília, and Erbil. She is a management-coned FSO currently serving as a consular officer in Istanbul. She took this photo in September 2024 with her Galaxy S23 Ultra.
