Generation prompt
White gravel garden seen from above, raked into concentric ripples and straight lines, a few dark rock and moss groups as islands; only white gravel, grey rock and ink-green moss; hard light from one side casting short shadows; gravel grain and damp moss texture; wide emptiness, low viewpoint, boundary cut by a low wall. Avoid trees and flowers.
