Massive stars have strong stellar winds and consequently a high mass loss during their lifetimes. Therefore they can form ring nebulae by stellar winds sweeping up the ambient medium in the main sequence phase or through wind-wind interaction or eruptions in the evolved state. We present preliminary results of a search for single bubbles and ring-nebulae around massive stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
