Ambient Almanac

An atmospheric weather companion and minimalist almanac.

Ambient Almanac draws inspiration from traditional printed annual almanacs — including real folkloric daily entries from the 19th century — but with modern weirdness and charm. It's useful, but more importantly it is just meant to be a beautiful visual object that encourages reflection on time, place, and the present moment.
