Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

I'm in complete agreement, I honestly really like the look of industrial buildings, urban decay, etc. I do a lot of nature and landscape photography but what got me started in the first place was Liminal Space and abandoned or worn down buildings. Just kind of reminds me of driving around the more run down parts of the city with my dad when I was younger. I have a picture I'm particularly fond of that I need to dig around for, of some vines and red leaves growing down over the open door of an abandoned garage that I need to upload.
