Regular and irregular sandpiles, mod 4.
All sand-piles shown here are 400x400 grains displayed as 800x800
pixel images. All logarithms are natural, no preservatives or
artificial ingredients are used. Warning: the Surgeon General has not
studied the health effects of the use of a logarithm with a
transcendental base.
