The hills loomed black against the sky, but no sign of habitation appeared.

A whole army of the monsters loomed black against the scarlet sky.

Two fat barrels loomed black in the recesses of the tavern.

Behind us, the dangergelders' quarters loomed black even in the sunlight.

After a few hundred feet they came to a large house that loomed black in the darkness.
