The walk to Kiritaki hut (a.k.a. the Sea-Mac Motel, for reasons unknown to me) seems like an age ago now, even though only a few weeks have passed. Still, a lot's happened since then, and no doubt the hut a few days ago would have been embedded in deep snow. When I visited, it sat below the snow and ice, but the ground around the hut in the morning was hard with frost.

P.S. Apologies for doubling up on the previous photograph. Maybe my brain had frozen.]

That must be the most wonderfully welcoming sight. Yellow is a good colour!
RR, the colour's a bit misleading because of the way the early morning light's reflecting from it — it's much more orange than it appears in the photograph. But you're right — a very welcome sight indeed!
Ok, I was trying to keep quiet because I didn't want to unnerve you, but you are really on a roll with this new vibe in your photos. Seriously. The language, the scenery - your corner of the world is extraordinary. Thanks!
Barbara, your comment has encouraged me rather than unnerving me ;-)
Cozy in the wilderness.
Can't find anything for Sea-Max except Seattle Max Hotel, a boutique monstrosity.
Zhoen, I investigated and found one plausible claim: it's named after Dave Seatter (Sea) and Malcolm McNair (Mac), who I think were hunters who presumably frequented the hut. I'm scared even to google the Seattle Max Hotel — Kiritaki hut's more my style.
Yes it is named after Dave Seatter and Malcolm McNair, they maintained the hut when I knew Dave in the 90s.

Thanks Jenna; good to have that confirmed.
