mosaic


Explanation:
Εδώ το χρησιμοποιείο το "ανάγλυφο" μεταφορικά.

Το πλησιέστερο που μπορώ να σκεφτώ στα Αγγλικά να χρησιμοποιείται με ανάλογο τρόπο και σημασία είναι το mosaic.

Παραδείγματα:

"The area around the town is a mosaic of various types of landscape, mostly formed during the glacial age. Among the most notable features are dense forests, several lakes and healthy turf deposits."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolsk

"From here the old town is a mosaic of buildings and narrow streets with rooftops at every level and, again, an utterly captivating Moorish ambience. "
http://www.andalucia.com/magazine/english/ed2/malaga.htm

"Town of San Luis – Established in 1851, Colorado’s oldest town is a mosaic of history, Hispano culture and religious significance."
