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'm unsure why some scans were split and others were exported as one page. Scanned with my thrifted Epson V330 that I got last weekend, still working on the settings. About halfway through, it started crashing on the highest DPI, so that's why you might notice a drop in quality.

All credit obviously goes to the creator. I'm only sharing these with the community to provide some (hopefully) rare content. Thanks!

E: Here's some DL links to the raw files on Catbox in order. It looks like the Lemmy upload got all out of whack and compressed anyway.

This place used to have a lot of interesting shops. It's all gone now.

I took this photo in the basement of an "undead" mall in my city in Venezuela. It's both eerie and kinda sad.

One of many abandoned subdivision stub roads in my area that was never completed after 2008.

Found through this post. These photos are from a huge colletion made from 1908 to 1931. Here is a site with most of these old photographs. Through many of the pictures are without people many of them are pretty liminal.
