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.

While this is technically liminal, Wikipedia describes liminal spaces as “empty or abandoned places[.]” Because of this definition and the fact that people are included, I don’t think that this photo is fully liminal. It’s an excellent photo, but not, in my opinion, fully liminal.
