A 5h exposure of the Large Magellanic Cloud at H alpha + (N II) has been printed at high contrast and through a mask that filters out information at low spatial frequencies. The consequences are that many filaments of extremely faint nebulosity over a region, about 2000 pc diameter, surrounding the 30 Doradus nebula are revealed and their relationship to the brighter central filaments demonstrated. All the nebulous ridges, the enclosed OB associations and H I ridges have been correlated. Spherical, or more probably, cylindrical, neutral and ionized shells are proposed to explain these phenomena.
