Liminal spaces

[TravelingBethelite]

Are any of you much familiar with liminal spaces? In their simplest definition, they are the places in between the more important moments of our lives, the places we normally don't take much note of. Often times they are spaces that we are very familiar with but "taken out of context", almost always without people. For example when it comes to traveling: hotel corridors, abandoned alignments, and many places at night: empty airports, lonely rest stops, gas stations lit by the sickeningly bright glow of streetlights. Other examples include schools outside of the school day and homes without furniture or decorations. You may have also heard of the backrooms concept, which is definitely inspired by liminal spaces. Any more good examples or any experiences you have from these places? I love this kind of thing.

Maybe like an empty office building.  I would normally there during the day when we are fully staffed.  Stop by at night, and there's not a soul there.

I love hotel corridors!  When I was a kid, when my family went on vacations, one of my favorite things to do would be to wander the hotel corridors wherever we stayed.  Game Boy could only keep my attention for so long, you know.

I think I captured this atmosphere pretty well on my solo trip to the mountains a few weeks ago, stayed at the Spruce Pine Inn.






Here's an abandoned caboose in Spruce Pine with that sort of atmosphere as well:

I have Dreams about these places all the time. Or perhaps Night Mares.

Female horses at night can be pretty sketchy.
