Several structures have been discovered embedded in regions of recent orongoing star formation, which point to the importance of the interactionbetween fast moving wind-blowing stars and their environment. Usinghydrodynamic simulations, we investigate the passage through the interstellarmedium of a supersonic stellar wind source, and show how it can naturally leadto the formation of tubes, channels and swamps of globules as interfaces arecrossed. The results are in excellent agreement with observation of 30 Doradus.Comment: 12 pages + 5 figures (GIF format) - Accepted for pub. in Astrophys. J. Letter
