Pictures say a thousand words. From sunsets to sunrises, sun halos, storms, waterspouts, gales, a cyclone, downpours, floods, a tsunami from a volcanic eruption, king tides, and earthquakes. 2022 saw some amazing moments captured around the upper North Island.
Thanks to everyone who shared their moments.
