Random Objects

The first twenty objects I get from a random Flickr feed are:

1. Theater seats
2. Flamingo
3. Flowers
4. Tree
5. Graffiti
6. Dog
7. Building
8. Amusement park slide
9. Field
10. Hallway
11. Telephone line
12. Puffin
13. DSLR Camera
14. Jeep
15. Boat
16. Cheesecake
17. Snail
18. Doll
19. Toy firetruck
20. Insect

Novel combination!

1. Graffiti and Tree: make natural murals out of plantlife and florescent dyes
2. Amusement park slide and Flowers: have a slide in a park lined with petals. It would be pretty.
3. Snail and Toy firetruck: Create a steering apparatus for the snail to allow for highly-mobile snails
4. Flamingo and Telephone line: Make genetically-engineered gigantic flamingos and use their legs to replace telephone poles with a natural alternative
5. DSLR Camera and Puffin: Puffin-powered cameras, harnessing the natural grace and agility of the puffin
6. Boat and Cheesecake: A candy boat in a chocolate lake, lined with cheesecake fencing
7. Dog and Insect: Seeing-eye insects for blind dogs
8. Theater seats and Doll: Movie theaters have a special section for kids where the seats have compartments for dolls and stuffed animals
9. Building and Jeep: Repurpose old jeeps into low-income housing
10. Field and Hallway: Plant grass in your hallways to get closer to nature

If I were to incorporate any of these ideas into my novel's story, I would say the most appropriate idea is the first one; I could incorporate some sort of graffiti in nature into the story, something to guide the character or just creep them out. I could also have buildings lashed together out of vehicles, and hallways overgrown with foliage. The other ideas I think are a bit to outlandish to include.
