Penrose puzzle

In this exhibit, you get to puzzle once again:

Two types of puzzle pieces, are to be put together so that they fit into the given frame. The resulting image is part of an infinite pattern also known as Penrose parquetization — after the British mathematician Roger Penrose. What makes it special is that it has a lot of symmetry locally, but no global symmetry at all.
