The massive, early-type star HD 148937 (spectral type O6.5f?p) is surrounded by a unique set of nebulosities. A spherically symmetric Strömgren sphere (Radius ≃ 25 pc), an ellipsoidal filamentary nebulosity (semimajor axis ≃ 5 pc) interpreted as a stellar-wind-blown shell, and a bipolar nebular complex (semimajor axis ≃ 1 pc) with HD 148937 located in the apparent center of symmetry. Here we report on observations of these nebulosities (narrow-band CCD imaging, IDS spectrophotometry, high resolution (ΔV ≃ 7 km sec−1) spectroscopy) in an attempt to establish a consistent model of HD 148937 and its nebulosities.
