NATO Mosaic Inlaid in Sofia

Bulgarian workers inlaid a huge mosaic depicting the NATO emblem in Sofia. Millions of little stones were used to feature the white and blue compass.

At first, they had the idea of sowing violets in a way for them to grow star-shaped. Then using stones was considered more solid.

The inlaid work stretches in front of the President's Headquarters.

The exact origins of the NATO emblem are unclear, although it is known that the basic design was conceived by a member of the International Staff.
