Jet Set Blue

IMG_0691sm
Scene: Jet Set, and indigo blue skies. Jet Set was a term for an international social group of wealthy people who traveled the world to participate in social activities unavailable to ordinary people. The term replaced Café Society, which referred to those that gathered in fashionable cafes and restaurants in New York, Paris, and London beginning in the late 19th century. Although jet passenger service in the 1950s was initially marketed primarily to the rich, its introduction eventually resulted in a democratization of air travel.

The Jet Set culture today is on the move, and is from all walks of life. Taking flight. They meet at airports, transitional cities where no one lives. Jetting away, coming and going. Sky blue is a cool hue.
