Sadly without it, no fencing, no building timber, no writing paper, no mdf, no ikea type furniture and more awful … no toilet paper 😉
It was always managed with the interests of nature … for example if a certain beetle was found or nesting goshawks for example … a few hundred thousand £££ job was stopped because a certain type of moss was found … to this day those trees are still standing

Does this count?

I think so, it does have a bit of a liminal vibe to me. Liminality is subjective I think.

Oh I am loving this discussion. 😁
Have you watched any of Severance? Their art style loves to throw in liminal spaces. It's quite unnerving at times. An excellent show.0 -
This is on my list of things to watch! It looks weird which is what I love.

I've not seen the show but I'll look into it.
For anyone familiar with the Backrooms (the original image that started it all) I have a Backrooms plaque, it has a piece of wallpaper from the room in that image and a piece of the carpet from another liminal looking room in the same building.
Here's my unboxing video of it.

This is similar to the backrooms if you've heard that theory, it was created by an artist on 4chan in 2019 whereby you can become trapped in an extradimensional space that you enter by "no-clipping" (Glitching) from reality. It is often dipicted as an unsettling infinite maze of empty office like rooms with flurorescent lights and extradimensional monsters/beings.
It has sparked alot of games and movies/shows and brought more fan base to liminal spaces as well as conspiracy theory's.

What a fascinating topic and discussion! I never knew anything about this. @Ross1975 that's a fabulous piece of art from eBay and a great video you made of unwrapping it.
I got to thinking the hotel in The Shining seems to fit. So I looked it up, and it does. Now that was eerie. Yikes!

StarryEyed, the interesting thing is that when I saw that movie for the first time in the late 80's I don't think anything struck me as liminal, then a few years ago I discover this thing called liminal spaces which was totally new to me, when looking at the liminal images it felt like I hadn't ever seen anything like it before, yet now when I see certain images from The Shining they look totally liminal to me, like the ones in that video you gave a link to.

Hi Ross! Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say.
So I looked it up.... According to Wiki, it turns out this idea of liminal spaces in art and photography started in the late 2010s, and applies to previous art and photography (like The Shining). In case you or anyone is interested....
In this first link, see "Examples of general usage"…"Photography and internet culture..."
So if this is true, that's why we didn't know The Shining used liminal photography until decades later.

A fascinating picture, I sometimes wonder is the entity, good, evil, or just indifferent?

I think that's what makes it so scary - not knowing

There is a ton of liminal stuff on Pinterest!

The green tint really adds to it.
