News story on a significant earthquake in Uzbekistan, 50 years ago, May 17, 1976 (Fargo-Moorhead Forum archives). Mentions the Medvedev scale, apparently now the the MSK or MSK-64 scale. That scale is not mentioned in North American, physical geology textbooks I have seen, although it's apparently similar to the Mercalli scale.
Also, the first page of a scientific paper on it, from 1980. ⚒️🧪

Another day, another view:
#LandscapePhotography

View of a narrow rocky ridge with a large rock tower in front of another mountain range in the background. Small paths are leading through talus fields towards the base of the tower. The entire scene is bathed in the warm late afternoon light of October. The grass patches have turned into a rich orange brown. Cloudy sky.

#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Alps

View of a beautiful high alpine valley with the lower parts covered in larch forest, the trees in beautiful autumn colors, higher up patches of dried grass and mountain dwarf pines among talus fields and steep large rocky peaks. Clear azure hazy sky. The silhouettes of some tree branches in the foreground are framing the scene left/right.
