An image Auckland Council has shared on social media of the New Year's Eve fireworks display is a little different to what the public saw.

At 12.01 am on January 1st, the council shared an image of the SkyCity display from the Sky Tower - with another nine explosions surrounding it.

"Happy New Year Aucklanders," the post said.

The post was met with some humour, with locals questioning if the photo accurately portrayed the fireworks display – or if it had just been Photoshopped.

One person said live coverage on TV showed a cruise ship in port, and whilst the fireworks were marginally better this year, they are nothing like what is depicted.

Another person said it was a "nice picture" but they wondered where they could actually see such "beautiful" fireworks.

One person asked if the photo really showed what had happened in Auckland.

Auckland Council said its publicity images had been supplied by Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development.
