A miniature mountain-top observatory built inside a desk globe that has been opened in half like a clamshell, photographed in macro on a dark study desk at night. The upper hemisphere is hinged back, and the inside of its shell is painted deep navy and dotted with tiny glowing stars, becoming the night sky. In the lower hemisphere a rocky miniature mountain rises with a small white domed observatory on its peak, its slit open and a telescope pointing up at the painted stars, a winding road with tiny car lights, two astronomers on the terrace. The globe stays completely real: brass meridian ring, wooden stand, an aged sea-blue surface showing only plain coastline shapes. Tilt-shift miniature effect. No text, no letters.
