JUST ABOVE SUNSET – as a commentary site – has gone dark, at least for now. For now there’s just occasional photography, and each Saturday that would be botanical photography.
Hollywood Roses (25 images): The white roses are just outside the front door, here on North Laurel Avenue, just up the street from Sunset Boulevard, and just down the street from Hollywood Boulevard, in Hollywood of course. They deserved the Hollywood treatment. Fancy lighting and odd angles, to add drama. After all, this is Hollywood. ~ Saturday, February 18, 2023
Pushing Up Daisies (25 images): African daisies in a parking lot off Sunset Boulevard in the dead of winter, but no one is dead here. Nothing is. There’s color everywhere, of all sorts. ~ Saturday, February 18, 2023

About Alan
The editor is a former systems manager for a large California-based HMO, and a former senior systems manager for Northrop, Hughes-Raytheon, Computer Sciences Corporation, Perot Systems and other such organizations. One position was managing the financial and payroll systems for a large hospital chain. And somewhere in there was a two-year stint in Canada running the systems shop at a General Motors locomotive factory - in London, Ontario. That explains Canadian matters scattered through these pages. Otherwise, think large-scale HR, payroll, financial and manufacturing systems. A résumé is available if you wish.
The editor has a graduate degree in Eighteenth-Century British Literature from Duke University where he was a National Woodrow Wilson Fellow, and taught English and music in upstate New York in the seventies, and then in the early eighties moved to California and left teaching.
The editor currently resides in Hollywood California, a block north of the Sunset Strip.
