Hi(gh)!

After having really messed up my code I realized that it was quite 
unreasonable to start with building the Kabul airport tower from a photo 
of its uppermost storey. Instead, I first would assemble a 
high-resolution aerial mosaic of the Kabul area (Google Maps tiles at 
about 0.25 metres/pixel), to gauge the the outline dimensions of 
buildings, streets etc.

This also means a change in the overall strategy: instead of beginning 
with the 1973 mode, I now would like to start with present-day 
Afghanistan (but excluding structures relating to the wars since 1978) 
as a "pre-Afghatopia" mode, after this, I may begin reconstructing early 
1970s Kabul and finally, extrapolating from then (but also including 
developments of current real Kabul) into the futuristic Afghatopia mode 
of about 2050.

See you in Khyberspace!

Yadgar
