    This twelfth and final edition is especially meaningful:
  • 12 favorite images revisited. Instead of our usual open call for photos, this year our jury looked back across more than a decade of calendars and selected twelve “favorites” from past editions — images that carried that extra spark of feeling, place, and season. (Scroll below to view all pages)
  • Over 260 daily almanac entries highlighting astronomical, historical, weather, and meteorological events in Amherst and New England from 1620-2025.
  • A true collector’s edition marking the last chapter in more than a decade of Head in the Clouds Amherst calendars.
   Specifications:
  • 17" X 11" (full size when open)
