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 always loved to chill and stay last to get off the plane just for this exact view, with a pillow or blanket here and there — something was so strange about it, yet so calming.

The effect would be better of the lights were turned off or dimmmed.
