Character!.

This tree certainly has that.  I,like others, have photographed this tree many times, but with frost about, it is a first for me.  I positioned myself so I could get the River Derwent just before it meets the Cocker.  The old Jennings Brewery is in the background.  The light was great. Ice and frost were in evidence too.  During Storm Desmond the rivers were running fast and high.  The water level reached  to the highest bulges, and it is still standing.  Someone tried to set light to it, but it is still standing. To the left of this photo is the castle next to the brewery.  Likewise, there are houses which experienced flooding during Desmond.
