These are newly designed winglets that are being applied to the Boeing 737 NG and future 737 MAX aircraft. They are basically split winglets similar to but more advanced in design than those on the MD-11, A300/310 and A320 family. The goal of winglets is to reduce aircraft drag and make the plane more fuel efficient.

Seen here at Glasgow wearing the recently retrofitted winglets.
A Delta Boeing 757-200 (sports charter and without winglets) taking off at LAX. 757s are now installed with winglets so this is pretty rare! January 24, 2025
Jet2 737-330 G-CELH, Manchester, 5 Jan 2015. This 737 is 28 years old, having originally been delivered to Lufthansa as D-ABXD in 1986, and apparently still going strong. Also the first time I've seen a 737-300 with winglets and with the eyebrow windows plugged.
Had to do another one...

Cruising.. staring at this distinctive winglet... there's a bit of a zen experience in doing this.. all is well in the universe.
Thought I'd do some selective desaturation for all but the winglet as the 737-900ER landing for maximum artistic effect. Hope I did good...
