## Prompt · English

```text
On an aged oak table stands a clear crystal sphere containing a miniature alpine valley with pine forests and a turquoise lake. A waterfall from that tiny world flows through the glass boundary and cascades over the table edge into the surrounding room. Make the impossible transition seamless and visually readable. Photorealistic water, believable glass refraction, moody window light, warm wood against cool turquoise water, one central object, cinematic still-life composition.
```

## What each phrase does

- **A** `a clear crystal sphere`: A single glass sphere frames the miniature world and gives it a clear boundary.
- **B** `cascades over the table edge`: The waterfall crosses the tabletop and joins the two scales.

## How to use

Describe the landscape inside the sphere. Keep the water crossing the glass boundary and the table edge explicit: these two transitions create the illusion.
