isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is

Thanks everyone. As some of you will know i started off pretty raw in Rendo. But due to the wisdom of other photographers and creative people i have grown. But still have heaps and heaps to learn. One day might be half as good as some of you. Thanks Chris
