In the past decade, the increasing sophistication of the high resolution techniques from the ground, and the advent of HST have allowed a systematic study of the outflows around evolved massive stars. It has been established (Nota & Clampin 1997) that most LBVs and Ofpe/WN9 stars are surrounded by associated circumstellar nebulae which have been ejected in some previous phase of their evolution. These nebulae are the fossil record of the interactions of previous winds and of the violent ejections in which the stars most likely have shed their outer layers. The study of the morphology, kinematics and chemical composition of the ejected material has allowed us to gain deep insight in the ejection and shaping mechanism.
