"The genre of liminal photography portrays an empty transition place between one stage and the next, an in-between period that is typically marked by uncertainty. They aren't comforting images — often they depict a place that might have been busy once, but now is empty."
The theme put forward for the SSC group this week - liminal space - is an entirely new concept for me.
After reading the helpful info given in the group, my next stop was Google which gave me similar:
Liminal space refers to the place a person is in during a transitional period. It's a gap, and can be physical (like a doorway), emotional (like a divorce) or metaphorical (like a decision).
Concentrating on the physical, I looked for liminal space on a visit to The Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty and have put together a triptych of what I found could be appropriate.
Love these learning curves on Flickr!

the airport is a place of passage, a liminal zone where lives intersect briefly, then scatter. here, under the sharp geometry of steel and glass, a lone traveler walks, dwarfed by the vast structure that frames her journey. the parallel lines of the moving walkway stretch into infinity, a quiet reminder of forward motion, of destinations yet to come. the muted sepia tones soften the harsh modernity, wrapping the scene in a blanket of nostalgia. it’s a moment caught between departures and arrivals, between now and soon—a fleeting whisper in the echoing halls of transit.
Christmas Eve, and the train station was almost deserted. These spaces are already liminal, not destinations themselves, just way points between other places, but when they are this quiet, after dark, it just increases that sensation.
