The orientation of the sun and moon relative to the horizon actually depend on your latitude. Think of it in the extremes: Teo peoplee standing on the North and South Poles see the sky upside down relative to each other.
That makes sense. However, both of us identified the same city and everyone at this event was in the same hemisphere. So all the same moon orientation, but the approach/departure angles were entirely different across just a narrow band. 100 miles or something.
