We walked back from Barrio Logan and I took this panorama along the way with more shots of abandoned and/or liminal spaces along the way.

Escalation
Is this a liminal space? It’s definitely in-between (the street and the subway platform). The blacked-out former advertising hoardings give it an abandoned air.
Plaza
Is this a liminal space? It appears to be a public sculpture plaza in a fancy building on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan. But it’s empty and devoid of people. It’s the space between the street and the Lever offices. It’s attractive but looks rather forlorn and abandoned.
Utopia
I’m planning to enter a contest themed around the concept of “utopia,” Thomas More’s famous place-name from the Greek “no place” (but punning on “good place”). I have chosen to work on liminal spaces, those that are on the threshold between one place and another, spaces that are not places. Here, I present some recent candidates from my perambulations around Farnham. Click any of the images below (in the browser, not email) to see them larger.
Liminal
We arrived in Arles late in the afternoon of June 30th, the day before the festival opened. With nothing much to do I decided to reconnoitre the area. Our hotel was out on the edge of town where there are a lot of shopping centers, closed on an early Sunday evening. It was like a vast liminal space, punctuated here and there by a shop people must drive to (see below – click an image to enlarge them).
