Another view of the night-to-light transition...Lady Aurora is still in party mode at left. In the foreground is sandy hills, while at lower left alongside Lake Superior is leftover winter ice. The waves kept the ice grinding along all night, providing a soundtrack for the aurora...with the Milky Way watching from above.

10th February 2023., Dublin Airport, Ireland
The first Ryanair aircraft to receive the Aviation Partners Boeing (APB), Split Scimitar winglets
Recently refitted with 'Scimitar' blended winglets.
Named: "Dyngjufjoll".
This aircraft was delivered to American Airlines as N609AA in Jul-96. It was sold to Wilmington Trust Company in Jun-09 and leased back to American.
The aircraft was fitted with blended winglets in May-07 and continued in service until American retired it in Nov-15 and returned it to the lessor. It was stored at Goodyear, AZ, USA.
In May-16 it was sold to Airco ehf (Iceland) and leased to Icelandair as TF-ISS two days later. The standard winglets were replaced with the new 'Scimitar' version in Feb-17.
The aircraft was ferried to Roswell, NM, USA in Oct-20 and returned to the lessor. It was stored at Roswell until it returned to Keflavik in Apr-21. It never returned to service and was broken up at Keflavik later the same year.
Note: The 'Scimitar' winglets are not the same as the 'Split Scimitar' winglets fitted on the Boeing 737NG. These don't have the lower 'split' part.
You know it's about to get good when the aurora coalesces into a high, bright arc. Some pillars dance in the distance on the low horizon...and amazing reflection in the water on this one. And if you look closely, you can see the rocks underwater about 10-15 feet offshore!
The double satellite trail in the upper right is possibly one of the US Navy's secretive NOSS clusters- these show up regularly in my night sky images. Another possibility is the Iridium replacement program, in which the new satellite shadows the old one prior to it being de-orbited.
