(liminality is a threshold, usually the space (and confusion) before transition in a rite of passage) I feel we are at a transition at this time
The Swallow is a poignant song from an old folk duo (Mimi and Richard Farina)

One of my favourite spots on the sim, the unearthly feel is haunting and beautiful, and reminds me of a place out of time and space. The voices of the children are like spirits in another dimension and the house seems suspended between sky and sea.
Liminal places, boundaries between sea and land, lake and shore, river and bank, a marsh, were special places - spiritual, sacred, the meeting of worlds - to prehistoric peoples. We feel echoes of this when we stand between firm land and a sea's fluid immensity.
Standing across the expanse between night and day, we see the understated beauty of the changing skies
Arnside, Cumbria, sits at the northeastern corner of Morecambe Bay. Here, the sands are exposed temporarily near low tide, with the shallow channel of the River Kent estuary the only water.
A man and his son are on a paddleboard, letting the current do the work. Liminal - calm and peaceful before the tide turns.
World Photography Day 2024
There's a scene in this video of Odex walking in an office (almost the Backrooms?) that I wanted to try out (specifically at 1:20):

First off, the robot itself is very cool but the lighting in that scene is very interesting. I couldn't replicate it exactly but I found my own take on it.
"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.
