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.

This is actual liminal space. The space between places.
Not some creepy old abandoned place.

If you look at the advert on the recycle bin on the right, you're going to find out that you're right.

DTW has areas that look much the same way too. The parking structure can get you quite a distance from the terminal.

Wild how much that looks like MSP, too.

Love this actual liminal space, the fact that there really isn't anyone around plus the lightning is beautiful. Thank you!

The window without a view is a nice touch.

Also, I like that there's a travelator going between the gates. The travelators at ATL are in the tunnels between concourses and are entirely redundant with the train-type people mover.

Nice. Not the first airport posted here.
