I found a better SF one. This one lurked in the miscellaneous  
dishonorable mentions:

Creeping slowly over the hill, the sun seemed to catch the small  
village nestled in the valley by surprise, which is a bit unusual  
really, as you'd think that something with a diameter of 865,000 miles  
and a surface temperature of 5780 degrees Kelvin, and which is more  
normally seen from 93,000,000 miles away, wouldn't be able to creep  
anywhere, let alone catch anything by surprise.
