While on vacation in Portugal, I visited a Winery. Here are some images modified with G'Mic's "Brushify":

I was wondering where you were.

Yes, I took my family to Portugal and Spain for a Vacation. I was born in Portugal, but haven't been back since 1975. what a difference it is now from then!!!!

Looks like you missed the forest fires in Portugal and the terrorism in Spain. Maybe your an American born in Portugal?
My father was Czech, my mother Australian and I was born in NZ. I just discovered I am also a NZ citizen but have lived in Australia all my life. They have something called 'citizenship by descent' so my son is a dual citizen.

No, I'm Portuguese with a little Spanish mix. My family migrated to the US when I was 5 years old. I don't think Portugal will let you leave citizenship, so I believe I am dual-citizen USA/Portugal. That might be a good thing because I'm seriously considering buying a home or condo in Portugal like many of my brothers and sisters did.

That's a nice situation to be in.
The brushify filter works well on the winery photos. Applying filters lightly seems to be the best way to use them.
I remember seeing an exhibition of Salvadore Dali original paintings that was travelling the world. He was technically an excellent painter or a 'photorealist'.
I never really understood surrealism but maybe you were not meant to.
