For what it's worth I took a couple of photos around 8pm. Here's the best:

OK, I think I got a pretty good view with my 15x50 IS bins. On my balcony. On my Aegean island.

The Moon was low over the sea, and had a distinct hue, a bit orange I suppose. I concentrated on its shape, and very careful observation revealed that the outer edges seemed to be morphing ever so slightly, as if waves were rising and falling on the surface.

Not long after, all this had stopped and the color had returned to normal. Fun to watch.

Unless I'm just nuts, in which case I'll take it anyway.

Well I am seeing the exact same thing at the moment, so it can't be related to any eclipse or other scheduled phenomenon.

If I'm nuts, the symptoms are reassuringly consistent.
