To Nick's left the sun had hardly topped the low trees.

Even now, the sun had barely topped the distant hills.

The sun was topping the horizon, coming out of a great sea that lay just beyond the jungle.

He felt his skin begin to warm, even though the sun hadn't topped the horizon yet.

The sun topped some trees on the far side and shone on his face.

Before the sun topped the ridge he had three more miles behind him.

As the sun topped the line of the veld half the kopje was in their possession.

They stopped at a small spring to refresh themselves, just as the sun topped the small hills to the north.

The sun was topping the scant wood behind them, glinting on the surface of the little creek.

The sun had just topped the towers and its glare was full in my eyes.
