    That is so awesome and beautiful and unsettling and extremely uninviting!!! Did you make that? A what pray tell (๐Ÿ˜) is Heaven's Exterior?

    Some thoughts to ponder.....

    No, I didn't make it, I found it on Google image search, looks like something I could imagine seeing in an 80's a horror movie, all that's missing is some fog rising up from around the cross. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    A Heaven's Interior is an exterior which has that same kind of vibe to it.

    The thing with a lot of these liminal space pictures is that for me the place itself looks alive somehow, like it could be aware of itself, almost like it's some kind of being. I don't know if anyone else who is into liminal spaces can relate, maybe it's just me.

    I grew up in highrise flats and the corridors was long and grey with flickering lights so errie thats etched on my mind seeing some pitcures on here jogged my memory really spooky

    So I got ChatGPT to alter the picture so there's now actual fog coming up from around the cross, now it's even more like something out of an 80's horror movie. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Or how about a glowing red cross?

    Yes, Ross, I totally get what you mean that these places seem alive. Definitely. Never thought of that until now. Very insightful observation. I think that might be the biggest creepy or scary layer - an unseen, imagined being. It's like adding a new layer to that old saying "if these walls could talk".

    Catherine, the nostalgia liminal spaces sometimes totally freak me out as they're typically set in the 70s, when my childhood trauma was really bad. So it is super triggering. Is that possible with you too? If you're uncomfortable answering of course please skip the question.

    But maybe I can make that triggering material work for me. I'm thinking of maybe using those images as a form of self-therapy, like perhaps desensitisation therapy like we just talked about. Still thinking about how to do it. I have a couple of ideas I'm working with.

    Anyway. I'm way off track.... As we tend to do here on the forum. The Long and Winding Road of the forum. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    On the topic of heaven, these are some beauts listed as "heaven liminal spaces" on Pinterest...

    Ah, we were writing at the same time. Love the crosses. Excellent. Fog adds effect to everything. And Christmas red is gorgeous anywhere ๐Ÿ˜

    What is it you like about the ones I posted? The feelings they gave you? The colours? Maybe I can find more for you?

    My favourite is the multi coloured stairway.

    The glowing red cross could easily be in a horror film or game @Ross1975. I'm really intrigued by the lacy, frilly staircase @StarryEyed. It sounds strange but I like to touch things to learn about them and I'd have a field day with this! My husband laughs at me when we go to a garden centre because I have to touch all the interesting looking plants ๐Ÿ˜‚ I actually got stung by a sneaky wasp not long ago but it still didn't put me off!

    This one might be more submechanophobia, which I've mentioned before. It scares me because I imagine getting stuck behind the bars.

    Hi Rachel, do you know if that is a real place? It seems to look like a swimming pool but I can't make sense of the bars.

    Here are some more watery places which don't make much sense.

    So apparently it's real and it's a wave machine, which makes it so much worse for me. If you look at the wall in the distance it looks like it's wavy so maybe that's why the bars look distorted?

    @Rachel_Scope yes I bet the frilly staircase would feel really soft, comforting.

    @Catherine21 here are some more similar to picture 3, for Fifi ...

    @Ross1975 what an eclectic group of spaces you posted. Nice! For some reason, my sense of smell is alive in that group. Not in a pleasant way, mind you. ๐Ÿ˜
