Hi Yaroslav,

I think that expanding the image tree makes a lot of sense. However, perhaps
it makes more sense to expand from Buildings in Middelburg - then to streets
- then to houses. It would make more sense to me to have a category
"Buildings in Middelburg", "Buildings in Lange Noordstraat, Middelburg" and
then "Lange Noordstraat 23, Middelburg". In very big cities, you might want
to add a layer of city-areas (in Amsterdam for example).

However, I don't know what would be a useful threshold to create a category
(both for streets and per building) - perhaps a more experienced Commons
user can make a useful suggestion to that. My gut feeling would be that we
would only create categories for five or more images, but I can be wrong
there.
