I'm a fan of children's illustrations like Where's Waldo and Richard Scarry where there are a gazillion things happening on the page. I'm also a fan of paintings that have a big landscape and some little itty bitty thing happening in the corner:
Landscape with the Fall of Icarus
incidentally also a William Carlos Williams poem.
Or: Virginia Lee Burton's illustrations for The Little House.
So write a scene that shows a big landscape with something small in the corner. Interpret that how you see fit.
Feel free to post any results in the comments if you like.
