Get an image (random) from a media folder
Hi,

What i wanted to achieve is to get a single image in a random order from a media folder (by id)

This worked for in V7 (looking at previous projects), but now in V8 i'm stuck.
```
@{
    var galleryAlbum = Umbraco.Media(1210);
    foreach(var image in galleryAlbum.Children.RandomOrder().Take(1)){
        <div class="parallax-window" data-parallax="scroll" data-image-src="@Url.GetCropUrl(image, "Hero")"></div>
    }
}
```
Could someone help me out?

Hi Peter

What about this approach:

var galleryAlbum = Umbraco.Media(1210);
var theList = galleryAlbum.Children.ToList();
var randomImage = theList.ElementAt(new Random(DateTime.Now.Millisecond).Next(theList.Count()));
